MANITOULIN ISLAND, ONTARIO poem
by Richard L. Provencher

Manitoulin Island, Ontario

Family memories capture the time
we crossed Lake Huron waters
on the Chee Chee Maun
ferryboat alert to the holidays
of our desires-

Sue fending off seagulls anxious for
a crust, Troy laughing with
youthful squeals
Walt, subdued and serious at
fourteen year's of age
Esther and husband sharing
their excitement.

Our tent soaking in heavy rains,
a cottage beside Little Current
travels along gravel roads
on dusty trails of history
and fishing, tarred boat carrying
us into the bay, small mouth
bass pickings never to
be forgotten.

Ah memories, the past a
tray of remembrance.

Richard L. Provencher 2004-2009
