Spring, Victoria!

An ugly baby is a very nasty object - and the prettiest is frightful.
~Queen Victoria


Poem Artwork

From across the pond your colony waved:
One for the monarchy! A holiday,
with fireworks nights, Victoria Day.
Sovereignty came, the tradition was saved.
More, the birthday means first-day rules obeyed:
We fete and get the garden underway;
the greenhouse madhouse grab and getaway;
a plot, across Canada, played and played.
Add an immodesty hard to ignore,
that’s multi-cultured and pagan in part,
the flesh loved as the flora—Skin is in!
Still The Prude who’d celebrate these eyesores,
bursts of colors day and night, living art,
that springs us into summers you begin!

Yes we the progigal sons and daughters of the Queen here in canada still cling to the once noble pagentry and love for monarchy as we always have. It is a love affair that has cost us dearly and will continues into eternity I think. Great write here.
