| Canada, oh Canada what hast thou done with me whenever I do close my eyes my heart is there with thee Your mountains and great forests of an infinity Sequoias stand majestically ancient serenity Golden fields of waving grain whisper a lullaby the sunset slowly fades away beyond your endless sky Mem'ries of the days gone by engraved into my soul return to you I will some day it's always been my goal |
I had to include one poem about Canada of course. I think that this poem creates many pictures and captures the variety of scenery we have in this huge country. Unfortunately, this poem was very long and I had to only include my favorite stanza's for the sake of my calander. Imagery is used very well in this poem creating great pictures of our forests, mountains, and praries.This poem has an ABCB rhyme scheme, but in addition to this both the 2nd and 4th line of every stanza has 6 syllables . This must have made the writing of this poem more of a challenge for "Munda", however the effort pays off as when read outloud this poem has beautiful flow and a great rhytm throughout all stanza's. I noticed that in the first line the poet made an allusion to our national anthem by saying: "Canada, oh Canada" of course drawing connection to O' Canada. I thought this was very smart and enjoyed how it connected the poem even more to the country.
