Oshawa Creek flows through the City of Oshawa. The valley of the Oshawa has been turned into a public greenspace -- it is in some places pretty wild. a grand place for a walk or an adventure...

This is the title poem of my new general collection of poetry.

-- 30 --


I found them
Monday morning
down the valley
of the Oshawa Creek:
A pair of
10 year old truants
fishing
under the Wentworth Street bridge.
We stood
chatting about fishing
while overhead
Monday morning commerce
scurried along Wentworth St:
Three truants
in the valley of the
Oshawa.
