She paddled her own canoe ~
Bronze gaze, heart of steel.

Columbia, Willamette stream
Forth their gentle run,
As salmon glint beneath each beam 
Of a Northwest sun.

The rain-swelled rivers rise and roll
Back where they began,
Like ups and downs of someone’s soul:
Seasons of a man,...

Eugenia, delight
Bold, fiesty, fiery
Daughter of God,
Lover of music, sculpture, bards
Teacher of mercy, mercy, kindness, concern
Fearing man, yourself, the world,
Who would like to see rivers, mountains, plateaus
A resident of Columbia, SC
Fain, or the pleasant one...

  Preaching ‘constructive dialog’
  Rule-breakers mock her

  Minouche Shafik is in whole-hog
  Puppet of Progressives ~ the left’s lapdog

They were Meriwether Lewis and William Clark,
Her name was Sacagawea.
On an expedition they did embark
Finding the passage to the sea.

Down the Missouri they traveled, 
Then slithered 'round the Snake River bend.
Rocky Mountain weather and sickness battled;
At the Columbia River they'd end.

Talented individuals hail from British Columbia.
Some others come from Quebec and Alberta.
A few call their homes Ontario or Manitoba. 
They may come from as far as the Yukon Territory.
People from the true north strong and free
write some very impressive poetry.
We have a few of them on our site.
I always check to see what they write.
Reading their work often proves to be a delight.

A model-actress from Columbia
Whose nice name is Vergara, Sofia
Always asks for coffee
On talk shows or any
I doubt if she has no insomnia.

Wild horses gallop over the fermented 

lands of the Okanagan
 
in southern

British Columbia- 

toward the mountains-

toward the Pacific ocean-

It’s a living flight of beauty-

a stampede of  hearts

that pound the land-pulsing-

And at the end of the trail

in the ocean rain-

the necks of the horses rise 

up like towers of pride

establishing(in the thunder

with their hierarchy-

the order of the wilds-California Blue...

   The renowned Columbia professor, Edward Sa’id
   influenced many thousands in thought and in deed

   Pre-1970, Edward told us he was Lebanese Christian, interestingly
   Post-1970, he was suddenly a Palestinian Arab refugee  



   _____________________________________________________
   From my Dartmouth days, 1968 - 72, I remember how prominent
   and revered a figure Prof. Sa'id was in both academia and on the
   international political scene... Infuriating!
