Connie Marcum Wong Poet Verse

Notes About The Poem

Pic Motifs: Visual 3

I've traversed this wondrous world 
Captured through the windows of bird's eyes, 
Enclosed within a body with silver wings, 
So blessed I've been to fly the friendly skies.

Silent One November 18, 2017 at 12:12 PM You did this very well Connie.. Good luck in the contest.. Connie Marcum Wong November 18, 2017 at 1:20 PM Thank you Silent. I was brought to tears saying goodbye to the 747 Jumbo Jet as we fondly called it. I met my husband on that airplane in January 1980. And I took the inaugural flight out of Seattle to Chicago on that big bird. We are all sad to see it retired. : )

Connie Marcum Wong November 18, 2017 at 1:23 PM I miss seeing my friends the most Andrea...and the feeling I got while looking out the windows down on the clouds like I was in heaven. Thank you Andrea. : )

Arthur Vaso November 17, 2017 at 9:05 PM Ah what a lovely poem, it must have been a joy to see the world like that!! Connie Marcum Wong November 17, 2017 at 9:10 PM It was wonderful to have had a flying career for 34 years Arthur, but it was very hard work at times. I met my husband on that 747 Aircraft in January of 1980! My best flight ever! Thank you so much. Connie ;)
