Another hockey battle comes along the way
It's a hockey night across the bay
And for the fans, it's a night of pride and respect

Nothing But Fig LeafsThey say Adam and Eve pranced around wearing nothing
But fig leafs and the biggest grins the world has ever seen
Imagine NO FREAKING RULES!!!
All they had to worry about were those thorny bushes
And the occasional lightning bolt accompanied by a loud booming voice
Reminding Adam, “You owe...

A spectacular display of artistry that dazzles the sight.

Two LeafsTwo Leafs
Like two leafs in a surging spring
sailing silent, toward the sea...
floating on the cool of dreams
alive, alone and free.
And should their spirits cross in love
and if their hearts believe,
how then can the rushing waves
wash away what they perceive?

Loose LeafsI think that I shall never see
A poem lovely as a tree…
—Joyce Kilmer
LOOSE LEAFS
In the dusting of the Springtime,
blush petals fall - sobriquet-youth.
Scented thoughts of yesterday, rhyme
elementary, with loose leafs.*
Poems Sweet Honesty, presume.
Honeysuckle lines with hair pulls.
The binder, neat, with florid bloom.
Exaltation of the classics.
It’s...

When the Leafs Leave and LayI wish I
could hear
the trickles and the
tears from these
leaves till they
lose color.
Loosening, only to
float down or travel
on the sky
expressthe breath of
mother-earth.
Guiding you to their
next rebirth and as
they lay and it feel
its decay trickling
once again.
Down swords of green
sinking, linking
against the depth of
ground collided
and bonded.
Next,...

Leafs of LeavesLeafs and Leaves
If a leaf lives in Canada, does more than one look like a pile of leafs or leaves?
If I were to take those leafs to America, should they still either be called
leafs or really be called leaves?

Autumn LeafsGolden, crusty leaves falling softly from almost bare trees.
Lifting and falling in a hushed gentle breeze,
Slowly dropping to the soft moist ground.
They rise and fall in the cool, crisp air.
It's a time of change in this world we share,
Nature's importance reflecting our own lives,
Letting go...

Leafs On the SkyMy tree which I plant.
My beautiful tree, which I love.
Which had a green leafs.
Medium tree, which I like.
After wind blow,
I saw my tree leafs on the sky.
The green leafs on the sky.
Now the tree left with no leafs....

Leafs of LifeLeafs of life falling
so rapidly each day,
as leafs begin to fall
ages are behind you,
time has left you standing
so still and quite.
As leafs begin to fall
each Autumn, like summer
you wonder, where has time
vanished to.
While the leafs slowly
descend to the cold
hard ground you know
your days are short.
Everyone...

Colorful Leafs FallingColorful leafs falling
from the tall oak tree
is such a sight to behold
on this grand day.
Autumn is so intoxicating
to my soul, so colorful
a time of year.
What a masterpiece
our Lord has painted
over the landscape.

Over Under Sideways DownOVER UNDER INSIDE OUT
(It still doesn’t fit)
The hospital gown
Makes Greek statues frown
You can see it in their sculpted faces
And they say in disgust
That they always will trust
The fig leaf that the gown replaces...
