Thanks Francis Libermann school. This is the third year they want me to visit their school as Poets In Schools. Here was their feedback in the past:  https://www.annapoetry.com/?p=5657

I also visited Dolphin Senior Public School (Mississauga) on Feb 12 for Poets In Schools and here are the teacher, Mr. Vanellis’ comments:

Anna, 

Thank you so much for that dynamic and thought-provoking poetry presentation at Dolphin senior public school yesterday! Your passion and enthusiasm as well as your personal anecdotes really engaged the students and piqued their interest.  I think you may have made poetry lovers out of them for sure!

soaring high in sky
song from a nameless flower…
stormy life afar

*
golden purple joy
filling our Mother Earth’s cup
daisies guard outside

*
encircling bygones…
this demure water lily
under the moon-mist

*
Burlington’s garden
among popping poppies’ fires
artists’ wings and green

Another haiku contest (deadline June)
