You are a fine poet. And your mind is clearly a treasure trove of Canadian history and natural science.

Egrets, storks the Everglades water of life, carrying alewives fish tales taller than one stilt leg up erector sets steel mills red dye rust running down steams to color scales green speared by bills bobbing down economic ways through the glades hour glass turned brown upside down drought strikes agin penniless fish fry to become archaic remains but rise the storks bills will bring bundles of joy. Try a smoke stack emitted damper —flu relief, a small pill away; but years more to pay for bundles believed to be new year’s old days left behind in by way s gone beyond Merrimack’s River stones gouge days .

“The river tells the sky it can ignore (not that it should) this steel toy, built of a child who never knew the alewife….”

Beautiful poem. Contemplative. Nature, memory, and human transience.

“Your manufactured peace built on lies, a crumbling dam against the

Rising tide of your leavings.”

Beautiful. Vivid imagery, rich symbolism and expression.
