I Knew We Would Meet One Day

We had never met before In-trepidation absorbed my emotions Knowing today is the day It's hitting me in slow motion Our meet is drawing near As I await this moment in time My heart now beats a little faster Losing it's normal rhyme Around the corner I go As I see her standing there Beauty just as I imagined This time it's polite to stare Her figure delights me so As it would to many a man We meet, we touch My eyes now in loving scan I sit down elated with joy Knowing I'll remember this day for ever Finally meeting the Lockheed SR-71 Not of nature, but a Blackbird so clever http://www.thehighlanderspoems.com/war-7.php

James, I too have been an admirer of this aircraft and those who flew her. Retired now she still delights the eye and fires the imagination. No wonder Blackbird pilots wore astronauts wings. Best, Will

You really had me going, thinking this was a love poem, James. Enjoyed the twist at the end. I'm sure seeing that aircraft was a memorable moment for you. Love, Carolyn

Very good. The ending surprised me; I thought you were writing of a love, and actually, you are writing of something lovely. Very good way to describe a beautiful plane. Deb
