Blue Days

BLUE DAYS

I can't believe a year's gone by

Since Michael came to stay

To soak up the Australian sun

Growing more tanned each day.

Here he is in Greg's swimming-pool,

With Harry and little Max;

A very good place to have some fun

And simply just relax.

This year he's stayed in England,

And, at the moment,it isn't clear

Whether he'll visit us again.

Maybe he will next year.

(He says he reads my blog a lot,

Much to my satisfaction. 

If he reads this personal note

I should get a reaction!)

ACCIDENTAL GRACE

(On a more serious note)

The enormity created elegance

The bare bones back-lit

Brought grace to the aftermath.

And so we see the monument

Rising of its own volition.
