Landmark of City-Remembering Jack Layton
Flags are flown at the half-staff position
His spirit stands in line at the city
Still giving successor like election
To put his or her stamp on the party
The lying-in-state opening to public
He could not be received any comment
Fifteen-gun salute being his politic
At Parliament Hill for the last moment
The state funeral is out of stature
For him to pick up the fallen hero
The man who did history and culture
For this country and city Toronto
Gaping hole in political landscape
Gone marks familiar peaceful cityscape

Challenging Pieces In Toronto
A epic is just a few people to read
A small road goes around with wind and rain
Footprints leave a lot of message I need
Hands draw a picture describing the pain
Eyes contact with truth and honor indeed
Ears listen to soundless culture cketching gain
Nose smell fresh fragrant fruition from mead
Brain reminds a endless memory with swain
Songs follow up from heart to heart to feed
Poems continue to remember maintain
A coworker records his track like bead
Rhymes play with the machinery like train
Story is gear maybe poem line is chain
Holding a dream with a big railroad main

The Songs Of Spring In The Garden
Have a lot on the ball in the garden
Have what it takes to make a good living
Geese perform a V-formation happen
Sparrows sing a same song whole day with spring
Squirrels put together trees up and down
Groundhogs take shower with warmly sunlight
Cactus has tested chilling in the town
Wild thornless rose has smiled applying a right
Elms with their new variant color shoot up
Previt with their piebald leaves move carefree
Poncirus in front of the door makeup
Mulberry listens to yellow jack bee
Host of garden thinks of with their future
Flower from soil is blooming great culture

A Old Ginkgo Tree Meditating on the Past at U of T
A ginkgo tree
The same period as dinosaur
Looking at the ginkgo tree
Meditating on the past as I saw
Oh! Old-time Canada I saw
A lemon tree
With rain dropping on the leaves more
Looking at the ginkgo tree
Meditating on the past as I saw
Oh! Old-time Canada I saw
A banana tree
With laker and growing throughout lake shore
Looking at the ginkgo tree
Meditating on the past as I saw
Oh! Old-time Canada I saw
A fern tree
With tropical rain forest and dinosaur

Plats du Chef Journal (1)
Yonge Street Who Could Count Long How
to Mr. Yonge who lost a piece copied license that i picked up
Saw your soul left in the lunch room lonely,
Picked up a piece special information;
Your eyes i had looked your heart sincerely,
Read your eyes and your concatenation.
We had been linked up by copied paper,
Leaving mystery gave our successors;
We raised frindship with our hands forever,
Sewing and mending with cultured scissors.
You did not hesitate to mention it,
A story you chose that did not forget;
Bring my desire with your flying winglet,
There were our future here that you could get.
O boy! you told me you born in this place,

Remembering Titanic 100 Years
The tale couldn't have been written better
Like a great novel that really happened
Uncertainness in unknowable future
The spirit of end left a mind opened
The magnificence of the ship to match
Scale only by the folly of people
Who drove in hell through the darkness then switch
More lives of unthinkable possible
A detailed timeline of the ship's few days
A timeline of the last night of their life
Blossoming romance tragedy always
Hits a unconscious dream with a luck wife
The juxtaposition of rich and poor
The gender roles played out into the door
