Paper Planes

Scrap piece of paper, Creased in half with folded wings; Flying through the air.

Oh, Raul, when I was teaching, I saw many of these "paper planes" soaring through the classroom and, sometimes, flying out the window. And these were 12th graders! I guess we all give in the flights of fancy now and then. Love the senryu style. And thanks for your comments on "Crosses on Canopy Roads." I wish the county would widen the road, even if it means doing away with the tree canopy. I'm all for saving trees, but not at the expense of human life. Love, Carolyn

I used to spend afternoons making the for the boys to sail down the stairs. The whole house was paper. My husband never understood why we had more'n one. Sheesh everybody knows that.
