NARRATIVE

"On the Mountains of the Prairie,

On the great Red Pipe-stone Quarry,
Gitche Manito, the mighty,
He the Master of Life, descending,
On the red crags of the quarry
Stood erect, and called the nations,
Called the tribes of men together."
HAIKU
FREE VERSE

When some people talk about money

They speak as if it were a mysterious lover
Who went out to buy milk and never
Came back, and it makes me nostalgic
For the years I lived on coffee and bread,
Hungry all the time, walking to work on payday
Like a woman journeying for water
From a village without a well, then living
One or two nights like everyone else
On roast chicken and red wine.
LYRIC POETRY

"Turn back the heart you've turned

away
Give back your kissing breath
Leave not my love as you have left
The broken hearts of yesterday
But wait, be still, don't lose this way
Affection now, for what you guess
May be something more, could be
less
Accept my love, live for today."
 BALLAD

"That which befalls me in my Lady's

presence
Bars explanation intellectual.
I seem to see a lady wonderful
Spring forth between her lips, one whom
no sense
Can fully tell the mind of, and one whence
Another, in beauty, springe marvelous,
From whom a star goes forth and
speaketh thus:
'Now my salvation is gone forth from
thee."
LIMERICK

“There was an Old Man with a

beard
Who said, "It is just as I feared!
Two Owls and a Hen,
Four Larks and a Wren,
Have all built their nests in my
beard!"
 CINQUAIN

“Watermelon
Juicy, sweet
Dripping, slurping, smacking
So messy to eat
Yummy"
