Victor Buhagiar Poet Couplet

Notes About The Poem

Calm Needed

Not for any contest.

The large airplane wobbled slightly,
Someone just screamed impolitely.
An announcement urged all for calm,
Lying was she without a qualm.

The airplane wobbled scarily,
Outside a storm raged terribly.
In vain the speaker asked for calm,
Someone began to pray a Psalm.

The first pilot announced his plight
Ordered someone switch off the light.
Bags and sachets put on the ground,
Seat belts a must, no change around.

A quick landing was now a must,
All in God had to pray and trust.
Luckily a large field spotted.
The plane landed, all exhausted.

Deb M January 28, 2022 at 10:10 PM Hi Victor….great poem ….I felt a little anxious in my tummy just reading it! Ha….plane flights for me are not always the most relaxing or pleasurable way to travel…..turbulence scares me soooo much! Enjoyed this one! Debx

Connie Marcum Wong January 25, 2022 at 1:03 AM Wow, an exciting piece. I used to pray during every take-off and landing which is when most mishaps happen. A thrilling poem Victor. I strongly believe in prayer helping any situation. Blessings xxoo

Kim Rodrigues January 24, 2022 at 6:34 AM Says much: Someone just screamed impolitely! My husband had a scary situation where before the pilot could finish his sentence the plane went sideways with the wind. Upon disembarking my husband saw the pilot who was covered in beads of sweat…a close call.

Harry Horsman January 23, 2022 at 9:04 PM Wow scary this one, Victor. Glad everyone is ok.

L Milton Hankins January 23, 2022 at 10:14 AM Nice writing with a compelling story, Victor. I enjoyed reading it, although it probably increased my angst about flying a little. Seems like a really good pilot!

Paulette Calasibetta January 23, 2022 at 8:47 AM Truly an epic tale with a safe and happy ending~your poem expresses the unnerving fear that emerges from passengers who are facing a possible tragic end. In God We Trust! Blessings,Paulette

Sotto Poet January 23, 2022 at 6:18 AM It's difficult to remain quiet in facing something as terrible as that, Victor. I'm pleased that they all arrived safely. The initial fear has subsided, and the sense of serenity has returned! Dear Friend, you have written a fantastic poem.

Vijay Pandit January 23, 2022 at 4:43 AM The pilot carries the day. You are right --calm is needed in situations like the ones you describe, but often hard to come by when in panic.

Mystic Rose Rose January 23, 2022 at 4:14 AM I am glad they all landed safe dear friend, I enjoyed the matching rhymes , glad we have poetry on our side these days, Love and prayers, always here :)

Anselmo Boles January 23, 2022 at 2:16 AM Victor, I did my flight lessons years back and once had an emergency situation where I didn't think I could make the landing, luckily, I made it down without a scratch, though my ego was slightly bruised. Anyway, I can truly relate to your story. Thanks for making me reminisce!...ab

Tom Cunningham January 23, 2022 at 1:23 AM Difficult to stay calm in something as terrifying as that Victor. Thankfully it ended happily for those on board. Tom
