Hope in High Park by Archana Sridhar

By League of Canadian Poets | March 22, 2022

Poem name: Hope in High Park Poet name: Archana Sridhar Poem begins: trudging along the ice the view cracks open into a sliver like a crescent moon parents and juice boxes for joyous children fifty meters on the clouds return under a snowy sky I peer through a camera aperture yielding to memory’s light no snowsuits or masks on picnic blankets the angle disappears but so does the sun End of poem.
