OFF COURSE

My love lived in a block of flats

On the other side of town

And sometimes being away from her

Really got me down.

One day while I was languishing,

Downhearted, and alone,

I saw a way of greeting her

By a method all my own.

I made a paper aeroplane

From a love-note I had written,

(As you can tell I was deep in love.....

Absolutely smitten!)

With well-honed origami skills

I folded and I fashioned,

A paper aeroplane which spoke

Of a man deeply impassioned.

I cast my plane upon the winds;

It flew just like a bird.

I knew that it would reach my love

And carry each loving word.

It circled in the breezy blue,

It fluttered in the sky

Then, like a stupid boomerang,

Came back and hit me in the eye!

PICNIC PERFECTION

A loaf of bread , a flask of wine;

Come share this country find of mine.

A picnic table tucked away,

Where eucalyptus branches sway,

And leafy shadows move and spread,

Echoing greenery overhead.

The curving path, gently inclined,

Leads to this spot, a magical find.

Here, you and I can reminisce,

Thankful life has come to this.
