I can't wait for a 6 to pop up, so 5's the best I can do. So sorry. This piece made me cry. I'm gonna walk away right now and have some coffee.

This is a very nicely composed poem, Dawn, to celebrate Canada's 150 years. My paternal grandfather and my maternal grandparents were all from Canada. Your poem expresses pride in your country, as we all do in our own. Marilyn

I loved this, Dawn. It drew me in with it's humor ((That's Prince Edward Island, if you give a damn...) and then with the serious business that my country, as many others who are fighting terrorism (my Youngest has been deployed to Iraq as well as Afghanistan). Very well done and also fun ;)

    Oh, Dianne, that's tough to bear - I will keep him (or her?) in my prayers, and you too.

This shows your love for your country. Happy Birthday, by the way. The words expound the beauty of the country. You should sell this to the Canadian Tourism bureau.

Keep writing

Joan

Hurrah, and a good day to all Canadians and the costumes there be. Nice to hear something of culture without dark undertones, with food, as well things that change cultures into other cultures.
A good day to you all.
Best regards.

A poem, this is, significantly titled 'We Are Proud Canadians', a celebration, in honour of 150 years Canada as a country, tells history, attitudes of people toward the rich culture and civilization, culture and tradition of Canadians, historical places and identities as well nature of the Canadian people. I liked and enjoyed the read.

An original take on a patriotic view. A standout 'The ice age dismissed'. I'm Australian but we were not the original owners of the land. But we enjoy and share our diversity.

Everyone should be proud of their country. Your pride comes across loud and clear in this upbeat poem. Good rhyming scheme and alliteration makes this poem flow well. I feel I know quite a bit about Canada now and it sounds a lovely country, congratulations on 150 years. MaggieF

A very well-written poem/invitation to come visit your country which is your pride. Maybe one day when I win the lotto, I will visit the beautiful country Canada.
