Hour – day – life time –
What’s the difference?

Harbourwalk Poem W030
My poetic style
Seems to be developing
Like the universe –
From one – structured – becoming
More chaotic – and then what?

One Stanza Poem O189
I get my happiness here –
You get your happiness there –
Should we share?
Should we compare?
So there –
Can be happiness everywhere?

I love absorbing
The energy it takes to
Move all the water –
In Halifax’s sea harbour –
When I walk its water front

For its gain and loss?

Feeling like a star –
In this great big universe –
Interacting with –
Others stars the way that stars
Interact with each other

Pi Day Without Stephen Hawking
Pi Day
Without Stephen Hawking –
Is dismal –
Like pi
Without the decimals –
Or pie –
Without the filling
