Mary, You Can Fly -  © Judith Clay

Another 55 Poem - 

I lead an origami life
With newsprint folds I make birds fly.
They call their friend B-BALLOON with word charms,
then with his help (a-waving arms)
I join the natives in the sky.

We circumnavigate the town
we pick new gossip from the trees.
Before the deadline hour sounds
my friends write notes upon the leaves.

  5. You have made an excellent choice of words, considering G-Man's insistence on brevity. 'Circumnavigate' is perfect for your purpose.
