    Poem Commentary

    great to be an object

    Canal, the end?

    Like a wizened old man's finger my water does bend

    I feel hidden; surrounded by buildings and trees

    I may be murky; a vision of muddied water 

    But I was once business life’s blood, an aorta

    Sometimes I feel ignored by you in a changing world

    My skin, occasionally massaged by gentle breeze

    Then outrageous joy as a canal boat ploughs up my spine

    I may be old and dreamy; in my forgotten state

    But I still dream of developers before it's too late

    Life hasn't pass me by Marie, I get a truck load tipped on my driveway every day. I have two boys and have a wife. Last August was our silver wedding. I am pleased and proud you enjoy my poetry. Your friend, Phil

    When power leads man towards arrogance, poetry reminds him of his limitations. When power narrows the area of man's concern, poetry reminds him of the richness and diversity of existence. When power corrupts, poetry cleanses.

    John F. Kennedy (1917-1963) Thirty-fifth President of the USA
