5407 Ontarian to Adore 19 May 2006 Was it another word to rhyme or another left over instead This feeling, an understanding all upon a mind being read Mystery eyes and a mischief smile that love underneath The pain of a while Your beauty, tranquillity your heart, soft to sweet Everything you own those shoes upon your feet No other word, nothing without amour This love, this beauty of hazel eyes, Ontarian to adore The Ontarian River is the term used for the pre-glacial river that began the creation of the valley now occupied by Lake Ontario. The original flow was thought to have been westward beginning from the present area of the Saint Lawrence River at its lowest point in Canada to eventually join the Mississippi River drainage system in the USA. In the Ontarian River creating part of what is known as the Canadian province of Ontario and the western region of New York State in the United States of America. Lake Ontario covers an area of 19,529 sq kilometres (7,540 sq miles), and is 311 kilometres (193 miles) long and 85 kilometres (53 miles) at its greatest width, between South East Ontario, Canada, and North West of New York state, USA. In being the smallest and lowest of the Great Lakes. It has a surface elevation of 75 metres (246 feet) above sea level and a maximum depth of 237 metres (778 feet). Lake Ontario is fed by the waters of Lake Erie by way of the Niagara River; other tributaries are the Genesee, Oswego, and Black rivers in New York and the Trent River in Ontario. The lake is drained to the northeast by the Saint Lawrence River on a path to the Atlantic Ocean. The chief Canadian, Ontarian lakeshore cities of Lake Ontario are Saint Catherine’s, Hamilton, Toronto, Oshawa, and Kingston; on the south shore are Rochester and Oswego, in the State of New York (USA). © 2006 Christopher W Herbert (a New Zealand Poet) a poet who cares |

Gorgeous tribute, especially since I hail from St. Catharines, Ontario and am a PROUD Canadian! Obviously this is a keeper  Melissa~ Intellectually I know that Canada is no better than any other country. Emotionally I KNOW that Canada is the best country in the world! |

the above poem is connected with Hamilton, Ontario Only if you come from Saint Catherine's this might interest you /pip/Forum94/HTML/002929.html or this one on the Niagara Falls /pip/Forum94/HTML/001048.html Only I have never been to Canada in my life, but in my imagination a poet who cares |

However this was composed on the back of my works of "Colours of Rainbows" and some words end up featuring in both poems, composed moments apart /pip/Forum94/HTML/004028.html I will admit to such a similarity a poet who cares |

I just had to come back and add this note. For I once had a friendship with a woman named Susan, whose oldest daughter was named Melissa. As if irony can strike us at any time. a poet who cares |
