1985
look!
a little
blue and white
fluffy flier
flashing by
again and again
singing pico, pico, pico
making joy and creating love
-1995-
oh,
no more
a fluffy flashy flier
singing, pico,pico,pico
now only blue and white
fluffy stillness
bringing tears

Editor's Note:  I found this sweet poem on www.birdbytes.com. It really intrigued me not only because of the obvious talent it took to distill an eleven-year relationship down to its purest form, but also because it reminded me of the Japanese Haiku poetry format.  I am not up on all the rules that makes something a Haiku, but I bet this one comes close.  Anyway, it brought a tear to my eye and I hope r.h.norton doesn't mind me printing it here.
