Notes About The Poem

A Hang Glider by William Yu / 500px Ala Delta, Delta Wing, Hang Gliders ...

Hang Gliding

A day at the cliffs, dancing with wind shifts.
There’s nothing like this, a day of pure bliss.
Safety must come first, to avoid the hearse.
Helmet for your head, harness or you’re dead

With glider in hand, it’s time to leave land.
You need to run swift, to catch the wind’s lift.
You’ll fly like a bird; few sounds will be heard.
Thermals are flowing, sunshine is glowing.

As turns you’re making, sights are breathtaking.
After an hour, look for the tower.
Flight demanding, it’s time for landing.
Bank into the wind and let your flight end.

I was up there, soaring and scanning with you. Great writing my friend. If you have not done this in the real, you certainly have mastered such sense in the heart. Wonderful, motivating writing!

I would never dare to use a glider. Your description is fabulous. Your internal rhyming is great. I'm not that good at rhyming. Well done.
