MARK CAPTAIN CANUCK
DANIELLE SMITH JUST WANTS TO DUCK
AND PASSING THE BUCK
SEPARATIST TRAP
DANIELLE SMITH LOOKS LIKE A SAP
FOR HER FEELS LIKE SLAP
ALBERTA PIPELINE
PRIVATE COMPANIES DECLINE
NOT GOING SO FINE
DANIEL SMITH BOMBSHELL
AND SEPARATIST HOPES FELL
HER WORDS DID REPEL
SMITH IS IN A MESS
GOT NO HELP FROM HER ADDRESS
MOST THINK OF HER LESS
BIRDS OF A FEATHER
UCP SMITH TOGETHER
BRINGS MESSY WEATHER
REFERENDUM NO
ALBERTA COURT SAYS SO
WHERE DOES DANIELLE GO?
Walls confine feelings, not people.
They lock them into buildings,
make them face the walls and
reconsider, rethink.
That’s the love locked within us.
Where’s the key?
This is not what I meant by closure.
My cheeks are flushed pink, a rosy hue,
but don’t compare them to flowers.
Flowers die; cosmetic blush does not fade until
you stop applying it to tear drenched cheeks,
rebirthing the lilting of lips, the biting of a cheek,
the giggle of a smile. Breath meeting air.
Honeysuckle apples always seem so sweet,
don’t bite them! Eve’s folly is no fairness and
flushed pinks turn to pale petunias when merged with drops of water,
the river curving away from romantic sentiments, shapeshifting into
flushed fall’s leaves that turn to pieces in the wind
if you blow your lover away.
Here and now, rosy cheeks are fairest reminders,
we can rest thumb on thumb another day.

You brought us laugher, you brought us light we could not ask for more
Your memory is all we have, for now your spirit soars
Up in the heavens you will watch, and guard us everyday
You will help and guide the ones you love and help them on their way
You blessed us with friendship, loyalty and love
And though your gone your never far, watching from above.
Though you can not be with us, your love and hope is here
And for that we thank you Dani, we know your always near
Children sing all day
Hurray, hurray Father's Day
We love you Daddy!
