Jeanne-Marie Writes A New Book

When it rains in Biggar Saskatchewan
a bigger battle begins
Grass and grain sucking straws
to the slurping point
The sun trying as always to extract
far more than its fair tithe
Muddy waters swirling down drains
of gopher and badger holes
Settling through hollows of buffalo wallows
where the buffalo no longer roam
Remainders feeding underground streams
and deep raging rivers

If I put my feet or ear to the ground
I can almost understand her last poem
Almost hear the next one
Go to Biggar Museum & Credit Union Gallery Archives

Biggar Saskatchewan’s town motto: New York is Big, but this is Biggar
