I’m on the flight to far away lands
Chatting to a lady beside me, Sue
She’s a fellow poet too
A member of the Canberra Writer’s
I’m a long long way from home
Travelling back in time
Already two hours behind
Jetting my way to ancient China
To visit the old Forbidden City
Palace of bygone Dynasty’s
Then I’ll walk upon The Great Wall
Feel the ghostly bones beneath my toes
Who’s to say dead fish don’t fly
I’m eating Barramundi and bamboo sauce in the sky
Watching Nick Cave performing on screen
His spectacular concert in Copenhagen
Sipping on a Wolf Blass red wine
I’m relaxing and flying high
Ivor Steven (c) 2018
Enjoy ivor..

I’ll send you an email, when I get a chance, some of my WiFi connections have been poor, tonight (Monday) is a betterer signal, here in Suzhou. My chest cough has been gradually improving, but I’ve still managed to enjoy myself and soak up the atmosphere of ancient China, and be fascinated by modern China. It is truly an incredible place. 😊 😊 ❤️
