Toronto: A writing of successive first thoughts about a magnificent city

To Canada
Oh?

Toronto's a fine town

Don't mind if I do
Eh?

Trips on the Queen Liz
Great Falls
Lined Ontario
Sunny skies

In the car
Driving east
Raindrops patter
Skyline clear

CN Tower
Friendly natives
Sparse parking
Beeping traffic

Asians walking
China town?
Much to(o) many
To(o) much ground

I loved her freedom
Her adventurous air
Her sonnerous waters
Her ascending height
Her neon lights
Her uplifting wind
Her posh rhythms
Her nasally natives
An enlivened welcome

She beckons me
Syrup attracts my spirit
Moose make travel
Blue Jays marvel
Maple Leafs soar
Argonauts decrescendo
My eyes rise
to meet my soul
In Toronto's flare
In Toronto's flare

I feel most full
