Farmer Relishes Sugarcane Juice

 Rotten leaves lay in dark corners, 

soggy mud was sprawled through acres of land, 
rusty barbed wire lined vast expanse of territory, 
dull roots of juicy cane plant projected from the mud, 
a strong pair of black bull bathed in rain ponds of wet mud slurry, 
infinite earthworms popped from beneath cocoons of ground, 
long snakes buried themselves in dark holes, 
multilegged caterpillar crawled through open skin of wild flower, 
a family of untamed rabbit trespassed for nibbling fruit, 
the apple trees swayed with gusty currents of humid wind, 
as ripened fruits incorporated with natural sweet juice, 
fell in paltry amounts from the angular wood branch.
 
the golden Sun rose behind the V shaped hill, 
cast its first burning rays on the fertile land, 
gradually awakening the husky farmer, 
tossing in blissful fantasies of sleep, 
to start his routine ploughing activity for the succeeding day.
 
the mesmerizing sunlight took its toll on him, 
he looked drowned in jubilation amidst the tall cultivation of sugarcane, 
red ants greedily sucking his seasoned blood, 
as he strained his eyes to devour the breathtaking scene, 
of sunshine, scarlet apple, juicy sugarcane, chocolate brown mud, 
and gushing waters through gigantic cloth pipes, 
it took him a lengthy amount of time to drift into reality, 
and when he did, he saw precious hectares of his own land, 
floating with wealthy crop, tonnes of haphazardly strewn crimson apple, 
he now took a slender pair of shears alongwith bare blades of country knife, 
sliced ripened sugarcane crop, blended the ravishing juice oozing, 
into his large mouth chambers, thoroughly parched in the dazzling Sun.

You Look FatCalgary by RickthePoetWarrior

Using Calgary as a backdrop the author satirizes the self-serving nature of the public as it continues to fatten itself, not only physically, but egotistically as well.

Next Arrivals by Robin Ouzman Hislop

Robin Ouzman Hislop's poetry is certainly in dialogue with some of the key architects of the 'poetics of indeterminacy' – both the Modernist strands represented by the likes of Beckett and Stein, and the postmodernist strands represented, initially,
