L Milton Hankins Poet Triolet

Perfect Flying Weather

As far as the eye can see, cerulean sky
Neither a wispy cloud nor contrail in sight
A perfect picture of infinity will apply,
As far as the eye can see, cerulean sky
Kind of day I have a strong urge to fly
Birds, bees, and butterflies taking flight,
As far as the eye can see, cerulean sky
Neither a wispy cloud nor contrail in sight.

Michael Tor June 30, 2022 at 4:16 PM We need skies to mimic what you have written. Sometimes it is rare to find such beautiful skies here in NY. Hopefully that will change in the comming months Milton. Have a great day... L Milton Hankins June 30, 2022 at 5:04 PM Hopefully, Michael, for everyone's sake who wants to fly. Nothing like cerulean, cloudless skies.

Gershon Wolf June 29, 2022 at 8:02 PM Sweet, Milt. Even I, afraid of heights, might take a 'flyer' on this invitation. :) L Milton Hankins June 30, 2022 at 5:04 PM I am scared to death of heights, but I love to fly. Go figure.
