Helicopter In the Sky

Helicopter in the sky,
Looking like a dragonfly,
Skims along through cloud and air
In search of landing who knows where.

Whirring blades are all a’blur;
From below, we’d all concur
How it resembles, in its flight,
An insect waiting to alight.

Yet instead of seeking nectar,
It’s an accident detector
Or a taxi for commuters
On their iPhones or computers.

Helicopter in the sky,
Seeing you, I wonder why
With all that space that you must cover,
Sometimes you just sit and hover.

Ha That is so COOL oh my goodness. How awesome your comparisons are, I am never going to look at a helicopter the same way. I love the way you mind thinks!
