Small Patch Of Canada Tanka Poem by Chen-ou Liu

Small Patch Of Canada Tanka



a shingled house
this small patch of Canada
to which I lay claim -
in a corner of my mind
'Ilha Formosa' echoes


Note: In 1544, a Portuguese ship sighted the main island of Taiwan and named it 'Ilha Formosa, ' which means “Beautiful Island.”
