Flying Down 2006 by David Salle

Shall we see!
Is there to bother
Like no other
Flying down, flying up
Having fun in the air
In a flying machine
Seeing the world below
In myriads of colors
Going about their chores
Without a care
A wish I implore
To stay up in the air
The weather is good
The feeling is great
One is blessed, what a fare!
Not to be alarmed
Just a falling goose
In acrobatics, showing off
Offering some competition
Nonetheless, still a spectacle
To be admired for its prowess
Written for Tess' Magpie #136
lively and lovely! Here's some images for you

ReplyDeleteThis poem really rhymes nicely, I enjoy it. Flying is beautiful and scary at the same time.
ReplyDeleteHank, could you direct me to your Sketch site again. Thank you.
A flying machine would be great
ReplyDeleteCould fly all over at any rate
And rest my caboose
Not sure I'd ever trust a goose
How very beautiful.
