The Staggering Verses Of Life

As life and İzmir together dines
The past and the future combines
The words that met the lines
In the rich flavour of the articulate wines

A Surprise More Than A Gift

I wanted to be present at my American host parents Ernie and Sue's daughter Jeela's wedding. However I missed the occasion in Ankara. Sue and Jeela were in İzmir on Monday. I was happy to join them at a dinner in a nice restaurant. It has been a long time since I had not spoken English. What I should have expressed was contained in my hampered words that suffered my influency. I realized how I neglected the beloved English. This arrangement had happened so fast that I did not have time to buy a gift as I appeared in this wonderful surprise. They had remebered me in the pictured wings of a bird that flapped Virginia in its artist's perch. The time I had bought a vase they were ready to fly off to Ankara. I had noted down something on the ferry on my route to work. I am sure we will meet somehow.

Not being able to attend

A special day of yours became a regret

That my memories cannot forget.

I hope this vase of sincerity will tend

The gorgeous flowers to apprehend

And another note was for dear Ernie and Sue who did not begrudge me their valuable affection and hospitality in Pilot.

Just a small gift

That in time may drift

To wish you to keep

A thankfullness memories deep
