On Monday night, June 8, 2015, Edmonton Police Officer Constable Daniel Woodall was killed in the line of duty in Edmonton. He will be forever remembered with love.
Blue ribbons trail upon the tender ground
we join our hearts in sad celestial sound
to fill a void, so deep, so rare a man
that only tears express what words we can
Blue ribbon adorns a tree on 90th Street, Edmonton
he was a Daniel his lions bravely fought
not rose nor sage but our forget-me-not.
Living next to Commonwealth Stadium can be interesting at times.
One hears the moans, groans, mutterings and cheers of the Edmonton Eskimo enthusiasts; I have also heard bands such as ACDC and Bon Jovi from my backyard. But last week, we were graced by the voice of Sarah McLachlan as she rehearsed for the opening ceremony for the 2015 FIFA Women’s World Cup Soccer event.
So, I wrote this haiku.
baby birds under a lilac bush
breathe in your voice
song surfacing
