canada day (Free verse) by Bill Z Bub
I'm alive I'm born at midnight again. premature stars arcing sparks snap across vastness in darkest sky uncountable blessings just beyond the pane.

Up the ladder: Last Vein
Down the ladder: Our Soldiers

Yeah not my best work thats for sure. I'm out of practice. But just you wait...

This is magic. I don't get why, though. Maybe it's the spacing, the openness like the sky. I think that's why I want the last word to be 'plain'. Three more lines of description after 'darkest sky' would seem right, somehow.

Do you listen to Arrogant Worms? This made me think of their self-penned national anthem, 'Canada Is Really Big'...

Your name isn't familiar.

Right nationality - wrong gender, I think you'll find.

ok, that was just a wild guess based on the word "cargo".

The spacing works okay and there's something I like about it...still, just not overly impressed with this one Mr. Devil.
