The following poems have been written by the 2020-2021 Greater Sudbury Poet Laureate, Vera Constantineau:
Greater
within the rings
of a million trees
our future grows
deep in the mines
another kitchen sink
is excavated
measure the length
of a pickerel's backbone
lines set deep on lakes
songs of children
living on the street
speak their truth
raindrops or snowflakes
the sky will decide
what we get
the brilliance
of a northern sunset
lights the need for change
memories comfort
but the future for us all
lies in our dreams
