Grand River Canoeing

Canoeing at Grand River
==================
“A stolen boat ride” - remember I did,
Rented a canoe to experience the bliss!
Enjoying Grand river is what we went for,
Hearing it’s too shallow for anyone to fall!

Hey! we are different, as testimony would stand,
With a hit on a rock, capsizing our plans!
My paddle just floated along with my thoughts,
When my knees just scraped, against hard rock!

The canoe got full and a bucket it became,
Getting harder to move, to any safe lane!
My cellphone did work, and I looked up above,
To thank good heavens that it retained its charge!
I called to the office and pat came reply,
“Empty the canoe, just do it - don’t standby!”

We pushed a little harder and got it to the shore,
Only to murmur, “It’s the wrong side, oh no!!”
We tilted it gathering all might that we could,
But water just gushed in and stayed where it stood!

At last we had some help that arrived,
To take us back in, but to the roadside.
We drove down a bridge we should have been underneath,
Does it matter anymore?
Doesn’t seem like, I think!

Rain rain go away

Rain rain go away,
People need you in another place,
Where drought and dryness all prevail,
Show thy magic with all thy grace!

Rain rain go away,
Show your bow if you need to stay,
VIBGYOR is all it states,
And drives a smile on every face :)

Oh No... Actually...

Rain rain go away,
I munched a big butter pound cake,
I need my evening walk in trails,
To burn the calories from what I ate :D :D

GRT No 20

GRT Route No 20
==============
I just hope she is on her way now,
I need to be home; I am sleepy right now.
From one aisle to another, I walked so much!
Picking up groceries? It's anything but fun!

Granted, she is definitely one of her kind,
But that is no reason to run so far behind!
A twenty odd minutes is all she will take,
If I let her go, miles will pile my way!
With three bags on hand - all loaded to brim,
Walking isn't an option, I will break myself from within!
So, I will wait - whatever the time it takes,
For GRT Route 20, to come by on its way!

Ontario Niagara Falls

Ontarian Niagara Falls
==================
A big roar here and a big roar there,
A voice so soothing to those that are near!
The rising mist from near your feet,
Creates moving rainbows that will impress a beast!
Oh! From a distance, mountains I see,
Got nearer and realized it’s a cloud in the scene!
Stunning in the US and matchless from here,
You got me amazed, Niagara dear!

Leaves

A massive food factory that is one of a kind,
Taking in all CO2 leaving Oxygen behind!
Chlorophyll is a pigment that makes it look green,
When it varies in level, colours can be seen!
Caterpillar, locusts and insects do feed,
To a varying degree based on their need.
Modifications at times, they are definitely made,
As a thorn or tendril - whatever it takes!
Reticulate and parallel venations get seen,
Depending on the plant type, if you knew what I mean!

Reflection

Reflection
=========
Looking at the water, what do I see?
Very many tall and mighty trees!
An attempt to scale them-if you will,
Is not an easy task you can just fulfil!

Laws of Physics that were taught in a class,
Rush to my rescue from just nowhere!
Reflection was a topic - in optics I recall,
Mirrors, lenses and prism - we learnt about them all.

Tree in the park

Seeing a tree from far away,
Does it have buds? Its hard to say!
But I just think I figured a link,
To "Automaton Theory", is what I think!

Seasons are but a finite four,
Spring, Summer, Fall and Cold.
Deterministic they have to be,
Whatever the path is deemed to be!

The cold Cold season just went by,
With freezing winds; snow and ice.
So its time for Spring to come,
In varied states of hue and sound!

Saturday walk in the park

Saturday walk in the park
====================
Not rain. Not snow.
Just flurries?
I don't know!
"Weird weather", as someone told,
Has just begun to take its hold!

Off to the park, I did go,
The water level wasn't anymore low!
Huge puddles I spot, on the side of the trails,
The mallards were happy, treating them same as a lake!

It was almost dark, I decided to quit,
Walking to a road, whose name I did miss!
Lit up it was, with a festive look,
But it was time to be home,
There is dinner to be cooked! :D

Spring Visitors

Spring visitor at Victoria park!
========================
Not the mallard. Not the geese,
Find my name, if you please!
An yellow bill is what i got,
A dark black band encircling the spot!

I didn't come for food, I already ate,
My search is for a dance floor, on the frozen lake!
I danced and moved, as much as I wished,
And when 'twas time to relax, i just stood still.

Just like that

Just like that
==========
It isn't quite spring as what you thought,
When super white powder comes back with its mark!
"Flurries", they said, is all will it be,
Carried in wind that will add to the freeze!

My nose felt the freeze, yet I walked very slow,
Weber to Water from Queens did I go!
It being weekend, the buses come by,
On a schedule that's special and hard to get by!

To home I did make it and settle down in peace,
In the warmth of my hall, looking outside with ease!
The wind just picked up a pace i would say,
That is best viewed from inside,
with a real wide gaze!

Incentive at work!

An incentive is really all that you need,
To cheer up the day for all it has been,
Opening the letter to find what its got,
An exercise I would love! Or so was my thought!

Gingerly i go and open up my mail,
Finding what's inside turned my face pale!
I opened an app for my credit payments due,
Where the numbers i saw was way greater too! :D
