Immigrated to Canada in 1967. Married with one adult son. Work as Admin. Assistant at a major hospital in Toronto. As one of my poems depicts - I'm not a poet, I merely love to rhyme, but I do so much admire all the wonderfully written poetry in this website written by much more sophisticated writers than me.
I enjoy reading all poetry although I dont always understand it. I cant seem to write poems without telling a story (ie a begining, a middle and an end) .
Who was aged five when I was born
My brother
Who hid my toys and broke my dolls
My brother
...
When I was young and in my prime I took my health for granted
No major ills in middle age I never raved nor ranted
So who decreed that when I reached my so called 'golden years'
A multitude of problems would reduce my life to tears
...
The joys of retirement are simple
you can lie around all day in bed
when the daytime soap operas get boring
pull the covers right over your head
...
Out walking on a fine spring day
I saw you there and turned away
so you could bloom another day
Sweet Daffodil
