Your words cave in
to my ear canal,
each laud casting lines
slight of fate.
I live this life
as a fish woman,
with my tackle box
full of bait.

Suez Canal-
The bypass performed,
On the chests of the Egyptians,
Bleeding for miles carrying to sea,
Blue sea,before blood mix,
Red Sea after both had sex!...

Precious toilet paper can come to me

In the world a backward flip
Twas as crazy as Boston Harbor's tea...

Zero Degrees Certitude
Where you go…
where you’ve been
One port of entry
leads within
Its grand canal
flows North and South
Meridian deep

The Rideau Canal
The Rideau Canal is not recommended
For dunking, it may be less than intended
Your body will reek
It'll reek for a week
Doggie and you will stink to high Heaven...

Our Canal
Our old canal is in decay
The water rank and brown
So different from its yesterday
When, with barges plying up and down,
Was the life blood of this market town.

Process With Most Progress
We must be prepared to accept process,
Which will result in the most progress;
A wise old owl

After you already have had an abscess.

To Love:
to love is to
be vulnerable;
no wonder i am
made of steel
to love is to
open the
floodgates;
i am a desert
while you are a
canal
too many metaphors;
not enough confessions...

Along the Canal
Along the canal bank I
go, another day wandering
just a quiet stroll. Watching
the Swans as they happily
glide past, wagging tails and
a trail of five signets. This is
my walk of sweet bliss...

Love, Like a Tooth Ache.
Acute.
Cloying.
Ulcerated.
Trying.
Enduring.
Pinging.
Aching.
Icarus
Night.
(Perhaps this should be titled something like: "When Love Goes Wrong" or something. - Inspired by pre-root canal up
all night pain from a few week's back)...

Greeting the Tiger Emperor
Frozen tundra has a still water canal.
Parading on it today was the tiger caravan.
The birds were silent as they watched the procession.
Lesser tigers stood guard or in amazement.
Life as we knew it in the frozen north was over.
The tiger emperor had arrived....

Sunday
He reached out and took my hand.
Lingering warmth from the early morning
Flowed between us,
Bird song piped and twittered,
Gentle spring sunshine
Broke through the chill March wind.
By the edge of the canal
I placed one foot in front of the other
And my heart smiled....

A Step Back In Time
in silence
the shire plods his path
