The Maritimes the road trails behind wooden covered bridges here people of the earth blink and you wont see postcard towns of yesteryear country girls in jeans back roads chase the stream slat board houses painted green small town boys with dreams farms with cows in grass corn and spiral hay to see green acreas..believe salt water towns today the fish plant long ago gone greed killed the fish stock Scottish and Irish French and English all Celtic the past still sings here.

Well thank you ladies....  I just arrived in Nova Scotia late last night and i'm connect in Halifax.... Something about this province, its strong Celtic roots and history of pirate adventures lures me here often. A city filled with slatboard housing a holdover from war times still people of the sea. They travel the streets in small trucks with giant ice boxes selling fresh mackeral fish and mussels and other oddities. I'm off to find some sea food and a beer... Talk to you all soon. Parker |

Hey! Parker - yanno, you make it look like writing Haikus is easy - I struggle to write even a single verse, while you write a whole poem, with each verse better than anything I've ever tried. I really enjoy this poem - it gives me hope. |
