Caribana Nights In Toronto

Women dressed in bright skimpy costumes 
streets drumming to the beat of the heat 
A blur of eccentric colors expound the air 
as we embrace the culture, the vibe...

Resilience, freedom, pride, nothing to hide
as we celebrate with rhythmic sound & gaiety 
There is a whisper of moonlight in the air 
that tastes up everything in

Toronto

Toronto
Now that the day ended
The sun went down
And I saw the most beautiful
Sunset
And finally, the night arrived fast
At midnight
The light went out
And also, the traffic on the road
Had died down
And Toronto was quiet now
Also, there is no body walking
At midnight in the street
I hope all the people are sleeping
In their beds at midnight
Also, I know

Exquisite Toronto Water Reflections

Exquisite Toronto water reflections
Lake’s hair is in pretty natural stagnant ringlets
An owl takes a perch in the design I see
her lovely paths lead somewhere
oak trees are readily reflected in her depths
has this waterway devoured people?
she has mesmerized many, of course,
and now I am one of her worshippers
It was a gray day a few minutes ago
Now

CHANDRA
		  
Down to my last dollar, staring at the floor,
As lonely near two million as on Sable Island’s shore.
Another grey Toronto day, the saddest I had known,
No place now to lay my head, so very far from home.

She sat down at my table, said I’ve been watching you.
I know what you are feeling, I’ve

Rain - Toronto

drenched roses shiver
dark silhouettes buildings far
sliver of moon shines

Toronto

On Lake Ontario's northwestern shore
sits a city of awe, beauty, and lore.
Toronto is where sports built the SkyDome,
and the Maple Leafs and Raptors call home.

Its renowned entertainment district lures
trendy tourists with its late-night bar tours.
And world-class restaurants offer cuisines
befitting the palates of kings and queens.

We built the CN tower to pierce the sky
one thousand eight

Tribute To Toronto Steel Sculpture

Have never thought steel could be pretty
Today in the contrast of the baby blue sky she was beautiful
I wondered at her creators, her designers, her builders
Were they honored with such a sky?

Have never thought steel could be beautiful
Today I was astounded and awed by Toronto’s steel
Her strength is unprecedented; I feel safe and loved
She has

The Organ and the Flame - St James Anglican Cathedral, Toronto

The Organ and the Flame - St James Anglican Cathedral, Toronto

The organist, practicing, 
and I are alone; 
unseen by one other. 
The pews tremble. 
The vast volume of air vibrates with each note.
The morning sun illuminates 
the works of mercy in brilliant colours.
Brass and marble plaques adorn the solid stone walls
proclaiming magnificent deeds, selfless sacrifice,

Toronto Bus

time was 5am...
called taxi...got packed and fed...
and then news...road block...

snow and accidents...
traffic backed up...bus detours...
off the main highway...

an eight hour ride...
mp3 played smooth music...
all the friggin way...

music and coffee...
a price...no way...not on that...
too tired to sleep...

mind was in a hush...
dazzled by the scenery...
wrote poetry notes...

passed many tow trucks...
and one sign said...'graves towing'...
...real business humor...

Ten Candles - Torontostrong

For the victims, their families and the community impacted by the April 23, 2018 van attack on Yonge Street in Toronto. 

A sunny day it seemed to be,
The perfect walk at 1:23,
But then the hand hit 24,
Ten lives about to be no more.

The tires screech, the pedal floored,
As hate now speeds towards the horde,
The lucky,

A Toronto Tragedy

Incomprehensible, absolute bloody horror it evokes
Beyond human comprehension, total rage it promotes 
Immediate death without pity
No question he's guilty
Destroy this lunatic for killing these innocent folks

Toronto

I’m from Toronto on police blotter.
Coppers after me for killing a man.
I’m not doing time for slight manslaughter,
a debt I’m not paying, mate, that’s my plan.
I like a snug place to stay where I can
make some dollars doing fishing helping
Steve on Miramichi River’s nice span.
A past keen friend likes there be none matching.

Welcome To Toronto

A warm greeting from Toronto
to you all
to enjoy a charming sunrise
in the lake Ontario
Or to visualize a sunset with
red burning clouds in 
the west evening sky……

You can enjoy the red burning lips
of blonde girls with multicolor hair
Multiracial people are living here
with joy and peace……

You can also enjoy 
the fine beaches of lake Ontario
a great boat

An Evening In Toronto

I want to get lost 
in an evening in Toronto
I want to see the fine Cherry beach
in the lake Ontario…..

I want to visit the victoria park
in crescent lake road
I want to date a naughty girl
in the McDonald at downtown
of Toronto…….

I want to enjoy a sunset
in the lake Ontario
I want to enjoy the return 
of office

Snowfall In Toronto

There is snowfall
everywhere in Toronto
on the trees
on the roads
on roof-tops
Everywhere there is
Snow and snow…..

There is white everywhere
On the cars
On the houses
On the fields
Everywhere there is
White and white…..

There is snowfall outside
Snow is falling from the sky
layer by layer
Become cooler and cooler
Cooler to coolest……..

Temperature is going to
minus and minus
lower and lower
Lower to lowest…….
