Celebrate Canada Day
A Villanelle For Canada Day
Introduction
A close friend suggested I write a poem for Canada Day about the ties with the United Kingdom and, of course, all things Canadian, so I will use a villanelle format and weave in some fun and history too.
The music is from the Canadian band Bachman-Turner Overdrive, appropriately "You Ain't Seen Nothin' Yet"
