Tidbits

When darkness turns
into night, eyes are
without light.

Climb higher, to
tall tree without branches

ridge over yonder hopes to be
part of an eagle’s soar,
travel, eat fresh fish

crows eat scraps, deal
with ridicule,
sun warms feathers
on a moral fable.

From Newfoundland
they came, B-Cers,
Sou’ Westers, Stetsons
and tight jeans
all part of the dance.

I believe Nova Scotia is entering an unprecedented period of prosperity. Gold, oil, gas and other surprises are on the verge of development. In addition tourism has introduced this beautiful province to newcomers from all over, people like myself. My wife, Esther and I, visited in 1976 and then moved here in 1986. We continue to live in Truro, Nova Scotia in 2008. R&E

Your poetry is definitely improving - more show and less tell! It's also escaping from the maudlin and becoming all the more interesting for it. congratulations!
