at last i set foot
on this land
dreamt of in childhood
uncle tom’s cabin days.
a brother’s bounty
bright summer sunshine
pansies at sister’s door
welcome us to waterloo.
a treat of quiet streets
brick and timber houses
blue spruces in backyard
salmon barbecued on cedar wood
and aah, treat of treats—
niagara falls!

Nice. Canada-ah i awm mek ami?:-)
I bet the weather's lovely out there and I'm soooo jealous. Not to mention the beautiful sights. Put up some pics, will you?
U Hriat, it sounds totally blissful!
@Seki, aw, kan zin ve teh mial a.
@Aduh, it feels great to escape the intemperate heat of Mumbai.
@Calliopia, it's all so blissful i think it could get boring after a while.
I can visualize the Niagara falls from your poem. Beautiful :)
But err... Uncle Tom's cabin and Waterloo? The picture association I've always had with Uncle Tom's cabin is Alabama, Texas, Mississippi river, etc you know, during the Slavery days of America. And the only Waterloo I know is in Europe... :(
@illusionaire, remember the black slaves used to escape from usa to canada, because canada did not have slavery? i think the river where that woman with a little child hopped on ice to escape must be the river detroit on the border between the two countries. it's so long ago, must re-read the novel after getting back.
niagara falls is really something, you must go there from the canada side when you visit these countries.

I'm green! The 'salmon barbecued on cedar wood' sounds yummmmmy! I hope we see pics soon.
@Jerusha, how dare you be green, you globe-trotting girl? It's very rare for me to leave Indian shores. And yes, the barbecued salmon was yummmm!Suffering from overeating these days.
