Poetry
I am very pleased to publish two poems, it gratifies me to know that my dollars spent on the education of my remarkable children have not been wasted.
The Poetry Reader
By Andrew Hardwicke-Brown
If you could do anything what would it be?
I would be someone who read poetry
Sonnets, Hiaku, I'd read them all
Reading poetry would be a ball
Reading free verse I would do just fine
I would take control and make it mine
If I were to be a poety reader I would not pout
But unfortunately for me I am just a LOUT.
More prose for the poetry reader
by Michael Hardwicke Brown
Though a lout I certainly am
Still I dream to be
A most articulate and eloquent man
Reading the most expressive poetry
Alas, recently my hopes have been dashed
and I realized I am not worse off dead
I got drunk, slipped on a step at Tiffs, crashed
bruising several ribs and hitting my head
Now I'm rendered immobile, in utter pain and disgrace
With a monument of my stupidity placed upon my face
Tamil
I consider myself very lucky to have had the opportunity to travel around the world to see various cultures. I don't think any other country would tolerate what the Tamil Tigers did this morning. When they crossed the Gardiner Expressway they crossed the line of acceptable peaceful protest. I don't know how many people were inconvenienced this morning, but I suspect it was far more than the whole Tamil Tiger community that have chosen to live in this wonderful country. This is a democratic country and I don't understand why the rights of the majority were allowed to be trampled by a small dissident group.
