The True North, Strong And Free Poem by Chen-ou Liu

a tanka set about the Canada-US trade war

hard and fast
a bald eagle strikes its prey
on the ice...
through bursts of the shutter
he captures a goose defying Death

a 'colourful call'
between the Convicted Felon
and the PM
hockey sticks atop snowbanks
along the longest land border


FYI: "The true north strong and free, " originally a description of Canada in Alfred, Lord Tennyson's poem "To the Queen, " isa phrase from Canada's national anthem, "O Canada", and a key part of Canada's identity.
