poem one : what makes me cry

Looking through my near completed collection of poems, I've discovered they are best
appreciated as a collection ... if you get my drift ....
There are a few that may speak on their own to someone, at least that's what I'm aiming for.
Prose and poetry that has come to me over my life so far, that I had no choice but to write down.  The next step, for me is to share, I hope you enjoy.

This poem was a challenge from the " Collected Wisdom " column in the Saturday edition of The Globe & Mail.  Why not give it a try ?



                                                            what makes me cry


                                                                        love

                                                                        hate

                                                                   how could
                                                                someone shoot
                                                                 John Lennon ? 
                                                                         
                                                                 saying hello
                                                               saying goodbye
                                                          train whistle at night
                                                            gone with the wind

                                                                      flying
                                                              into Vancouver
                                                                    flying out
                                                                Lake Superior
                                                                    red wine
                                                          God save the Queen
                                                                       and
