dipping my fountain pen into the inkpot of inspiration

... a pearl in this diamond world

   wrap a woolen scarf ...

Excerpt:

​

Cradle Rhythms

new Canadians, they called us

the families on our street

Italians and the Greeks

Portuguese, Ukrainians

new Canadians

to distinguish us from the old Canadians perhaps

like Mrs. Brown from two doors down

who had a moustache

and a stubby black dog who waddled when he walked

and a carpet beater made of metal and wood ...

One of my poems was published in the Fall 2017 issue of Still Points Arts Quarterly

​

Excerpt: 

​

Spirit Inside Me, Around Me

and it seemed clear in a moment of darkness 

that you had turned your back on me, the god of my childhood, 

the god of my church ...

Three of my haiku have been published in the 2017 Haiku Canada Anthology, Wordless.

by the moon's soft light

  I connect the starts that reach

      from me to you
