SIX HAIKU ABOUT SUDBURY
nickel town...
the tang of sulphur
on the breeze
dog days
the smokestack's plume
going nowhere
the earth rumbles –
is that Inco blasting
or a developer?
no more blueberries...
a black bear visits
on garbage night
Junction Creek
silt slowly fills
a shopping cart
bone-snapping cold
this morning the car insists
on square tires

SUDBURY SUMMER
School is out
Long summer days
Oh so boring
School is out
Long summer days
Lake Nepahwin
School is out
Long summer days
With Poetry
School is out
Long Summer Days
In my Heaven

HEATHER MCGILLIVRAY
Heather is a person in your neighbourhood. Besides being a mom, she loves writing, reading, blogging and photography, and hopes she might finish that novel that's going to change the world. Until then, she's happy to live every day in God's grace and see her poetry in Sudbury's new eZine.
PERSEVERANCE (A SUDBURY SENRYU)
Hearts of living hope
Blossom from the darkest nights
In Sudbury soil.
