Although I am not Canadian and English also is my second language, I totally feel the emotions beneath your words! I love the pace and sounds and rhythm, it feels like high noon on the hockey field. :-D Sending you lots of blessings, Love and strength in these chaotic times!
Thanks Sadhbh. It’s a bit of a lampoon kind of piece. Wish it was more about peace! Over here that’s called a hockey rink not a field lol! As in all sport, there’s a little friendly banter going on in the games. Is a trade war sports? I just wanted to have a little fun with some Canadian slang. I’m always trying to stay out of politics, and I’ve probably crossed a bit of a line. What are poets for? Thanks so much for reading and reaching out. 🙏❤️
That's exactly what poets are for! Firstly, you used poetry to process information which provides transformation, plus you make even uncomfortable feelings sound beautiful! This is a true gift! You dare to show vulnerability and that is courageous! Thanks for showing the way! We are the poem!
Glad you can see the funny side in this crazy argy-bargy between America's newly chosen court jester and his sparring partners in this funky dance on the world's arena, which, considering the 1 or 2 trillion galaxies in the universe, is only a speck in our Milky Way...
Thank you for this poetic glimpse from an insider's perspective 💛 🙏 ✨
Thank you so much for reading and reaching out. I try to stay away from anything political but this one was too good to not chew on with a little Canadian beaver fever! I try to focus on what I can control and my own circle. The door only opens to the inside. It was an opportunity to share some Canadian slang in a little bit of a beat poet style. I’ve never done a slam poetry session, but the rhythm and flow of this one would adapt to it. Sometimes humour is a blessing, and I know I’m only laughing at myself. Having some fun with this and writing it out and reading it, has helped with acceptance and compassion. Who knew poetry could heal too 😉🙏❤️
Indeed. I get to the forest every day. I leave where I entered. Yet, I’m never the same. Thanks for reading. The circus has arrived. Seems I’ve got some great seats. 🙏❤️
I’ve been upping the running was supposed to start recording two weeks ago. I keep getting bugs. But I have recently been rehearsing and have a swathe of new words. Illness has its purpose
I love this Jamie the fun you had writing it is palpable and your vibrant little chuckles add charm accompanying your humor that skips along with hard hitting pol~it~i~cal pucks. A ditty of a song, perfect rhythm, a slam-dunk hit. I hear a harmonica and banjo with a standup bass and please add the chuckles! Be happy, G
Am smiling Soul Granny! Always a banjo. And a hockey stick. Blessings. Thanks for being here. Looks like the bomb helped the energy shift lol. A months reprieve for the tariffs- on both sides now. Clouds. 🙏❤️
It’s craziness, my body, mind and spirit is on high red alert like never before, feeling like a sitting duck and her dinner, a fish out of water. I have to use all my tools to remain grounded and responsible calm, because it’s 89 seconds to midnight and I feel it, a shiver up my spine like none other! Be healthy and stay safe, soul granny G
Well Jamie, there’s a whole lot of cultural rhetoric and symbolism that this Aussie doesn’t get, though l listened with a smile on my dial because l get that you are ‘taking the piss’, as we say. Keep smiling … 😊 it is a circus 🎪. Take care 🙏🏼💜
Great wordsmithing, brilliant rhythm and actually I feel a frustrated pain underpins your despairing humour. Feeling it with you. Pour it all onto the page. ❤️
This is just brilliant Jamie. Sometimes there is no other way but to play. To play with humour amongst the sheer horror. I felt your heart in this one, it's really powerful. Sending you love and strength to say grounded and centred. That is where the power is, as well as the cow shit! ❤️
A lot of cow shit! Thanks Jo! Poetry always helps with the healing! Thanks for reading and responding. It makes the world a smaller, and at the same time a much bigger place. Enjoy that beautiful summer. 🙏❤️
I see your crazy and raise you a circus ..I love it! Up here we call that a hockey game lol! Thanks for reading Danielle and for the smiles! Hope your son is improving 🙏❤️
Hockey is amazing, whether field or ice and so cathartic, as well.
Nicholas is improving. Flu is gone. Double ear infection, likely gone as well. The pneumonia takes time to heal, but he is doing better all the time. Thanks for checking on him. XO

Well, consonance, assonance and alliteration were spitting some fine teeth there. "The circus has arrived." You bet it has. Stay calm and carry on.

I'm sure the ripples will cross to Europe, especially if the American 'invasion' of Greenland goes ahead.
I’ve currently been caught by what feels like the flu, Jamie. I fell asleep to the bounce of the Canadian slang fest. Beautiful
Get well Charlie! Its probably all old Scots in origin lol! Thanks for the smile! Blessings. Can’t wait for your next song! 🙏❤️

Rest well! Maybe the slam poetry worked lol- looks like they backed off the tariffs for 30 days. Blessings 🙏❤️

What a fun post to counter the insanity of the moment. Crazy, eh? May sanity prevail or not. It will be as it should be, for whatever reason. 😱🙃
Thanks Janaka! Had some fun sounds with this one.

Thanks Simone! The circus spins and sometimes pisses into the wind. A lot lol. Thanks for being here. I had sound fun with this one. 🙏❤️

Tabernak, Jamie. C'est merveilleux et mon genre d'humour. Donne moi beaucoup comme ça.
Merci mon ami! 🙏❤️

I deeply apologize for the half of my nation who voted in these dangerous toxic malignant narcissists, bullies, and cowards
A prophet of righteousness
sermons from the pulpit of blame.
Says it all
Thanks Jeni 🙏❤️
I love this! Its a poker game of lunacy. I'll see your crazy and raise you a circus. Write it out, walk it out in silence. XO

Rollicking indeed! I had no idea the original composition of hockey pucks 😂. Wonderful use of language, Jamie!
Thanks Jenn 🙏❤️
You are welcome. ❤️
