Fly little Dove

I felt ashamed today
I should have not spoken that way.
My love was annoyed and left.
I was surprised by all the dialogue bereft.
Worse the telephone ceased to work,
In anger, I threw down the phone with a jerk.

Saddened by my uncouth manner
Our love must remain a winner.
How to send her a message of sorrow?
I dared not wait for tomorrow.

A message I would send with haste,
No, no, not a moment to waste.
I wrote a note and stuck it to my dove.
With all the words that spelt love.

Fly, sweet white dove, fly to her home
No time to wander or to roam, 
Straight to her loving arms, fly sweet bird
Let her message of love be heard.

Faster than emails or phone calls, perhaps the dove will pass the message to her and how electrified, she will be reading your message dripping with the honey of love :)) Lovely poem.

A carrier dove, how creative you are, Victor. It is best to make amends as quickly as possible. No use letting it become bigger than others can handle. Good advice and a well written poem. I enjoyed your contribution to my poems to read today. Blessings, my friend. Bill

It was meant for you and this poem, Victor ... I just type the name I'd just replied too again by mistake. Opps! My apologies. Bill
