 5424 Livery of Desire 26 May 2006 Will there be a day you understand, a time where hope will mean more. - Out so far in beginning, ready to embrace to the wind This livery of desire, a destined factor of amour For what was love, did it need to be true Hair of gold, heart of a soul solutions, chemical to mix where as cleanliness was more to some An addition, little hands and feet this child of perdition, rekindled in kind No demons to mask, such freedom open to link ever after, finite found to engross A maple leaf, no longer singular two folds in a sheet, blankets warming Heavenly sleep, never departed maybe tomorrow such dream to awake The National Flag of Canada, popularly known as the “Maple Leaf” and l’Unifolié (French for “the one-leaved”), is a base red flag with a white square in its centre featuring a stylized, 11-pointed, red maple leaf. Canada, initially used various versions of the Canadian Red Ensign as national flag (The Ensign modelled on a flag featuring the British Union Flag [Union Jack] in the top left hand corner, with an assortment of coloured backgrounds, of red, blue, pale blue or white. A common form of flag adopted by a majority of British Empire, later British Commonwealth and since 1974, Commonwealth countries) The original Canadian Red Ensign had the arms of the four original provinces on its shield. In 1922, the shield of the Coat of Arms of Canada replaced the provincial arms, and changed slightly in 1957. A blue ensign, also bearing the shield of the Canadian coat of arms, was flown by the Royal Canadian Navy and ships owned by the Canadian government until 1965. The Maple Leaf Flag has been used officially since its adoption in 1965. Inaugurated on 15 February 1965, since 1996, 15 February has been commemorated as National Flag of Canada Day. © 2006 Christopher W Herbert (a New Zealand Poet) a poet who cares [This message has been edited by poettothecars (05-26-2006 09:23 AM).] |
