A Silly Poem

Sunday morning
and the rain pours down
the patio starts to flood
and we add the numbers up
write the letters in a row
homework's all done!

Start to cook lunch
and my mind begins to wonder
what she's doing now
down the other end of there
far away from here
and yet also close somehow

Staring at her photos
for far too long last night
sharing broken languages
and insights into living
laughing at ourselves
as we both turn into pumpkins

This funny silly sparrow
landing in my life
via msn and skype
touching down upon my desktop
causing endless smiles
and not a little strife!
