I have friends and distant relations in Canada and, as you may know, I am a huge Joni Mitchell fan, so it has always been a dream of mine to visit. Being a linguist, I am also interested in the meaning of place names, so your additional information about the name "Mississauga" immediately caught my eye. Back to the poem...<br />You have really brought your city to me, with its 'yellow <br />sparkling lights & / scribbling daring words / on turrets, / walls and bridges, / bar stools and shiny mirrors'. I love 'the full moon / eclipsing my city neon signs' and the 'one giant canvas / unblemished as black / stones and wild wheat field' - that's how I always picture Canada.<br />Kim M.
