Best Airplane Poems

My white-washed bars surrounded me -
they held me as I slept;
they soothed me when the days were long,
and mother’s blue-eyes wept.

A baby girl, six months or less,
awakened from my sleep -
stood up legs as sure as hope;
as strong as flat is steep.

My hands, my saviors,...

Well there I was twenty or so and never been in an airplane

Well...it just so happened two new friends of mine, were pilots

With many hours logged time after time

They even had an airplane of their own, which they had just flown over my house

Get off...

view from the sky
little specks of life
charting their way
through green, blue, and brown
clouds floating in way of the window
like soft marshmallows 
ready to be eaten...

With clouds gentle wisps of wonder, 
 dancing at my fingers tips. 
 With a gentle freedom smile, 
 growing on my parted lips. 

 With lovely little laughing dreams , 
 in cotton candy colored skies. 
 With nervous hope were holding tight,

“In the pocket of the seat in front of you, you’ll find:”
A cushion, stuffed with cotton balls; eight or nine,
One Crimson- tinted, two-by-four fleece cut out,
And a magazine full of things no one cares about

“For your comfort today, we provide:”
A seat, which six inches backwards,...

By Elton Camp

Superman used to kick the ground
With the momentum, fly all around

From New York City to L.A.
It was his preferred travel way

To encircle the world in a flash
He would often wildly dash

Recently, he’s been seen on a plane
Partly to avoid the driving rain

He’s super,...

This airplane is on fire and it's going down.
Soon everybody on board will no longer be around.
I'm really scared because of the trouble that I'm in.
I'm praying and I'm begging God to forgive my sins.
Very soon I'll no longer be a part of the Human...

Like an airplane, bravely take off, 
Reaching your goal, with much passion; 
Endure the storm, the turbulence, 
The rugged air, and affliction.

Don't take a plunge, or a nosedive, 
Like a dropping, crashing aircraft; 
Don't fall headfirst, as you descend, 
Just be steady, during the draft.

Let...

Guy on the airplane
I'm sorry I fell asleep on you.
I don't care to give you my name.

I've been up since three,
now staring out the window
I'm about to sleep.
Last thing I know
is I was leaning towards you.

Felt a nudge
heard some laughter
woke up to you
looking down at...

OH HONEY, LOOK AT THE PRETTY PINK HOUSE ON THE ****ING CORNER

Is it all about two promises and two hearts set upon the same goal,
or is it more about two beings sharing the same soul?
Is it more about the places they go and the people...

patches of green, shades of blue,
cotton clouds floating down below,
soaring like angels dressed in white,
silently drifting from such a height.

looking-glass mirror of the blue sea
to where someday I'm longing to be;
lonely mountains like giants they are,
rising and trying to reach a distant star.

where am I...

Rain drizzling on the window pane
Sullen moments, filled with melancholy
Wishes glued to hopes of sunshine
Rays washing away the storm clouds, 
The gray day – the tempestuous darkness

Nothing in life ever felt quite as dismal
As the overcast moments when I was left
To my own devices, my...

I
watched
attentively as
each fold was
creased so carefully and precisely,
and then tested with great care to exact the chosen form.
It was made worthy
of long, sustained
flight to compete
with the other
boys, whose
fathers also
taught them the basics of
aerodynamics from the
kitchen
table....

Paper Airplanes
I made paper airplanes decades ago
One super creation I named Zoomo 
Once my Zoomo and I took off in flight
Lift off was on the first stroke of midnight.

I was the pilot and what fun we had
If the folks had seen us they'd have gone...

They reap the whirlwind
Who search the gold-glinted sun
And moon on whispering wings;
Who float and glide 
Upon the blue and misty current 
High above the naked edge
Of earth,
Like eagles they climb
The whipped peaks of weightless freeze
And loft through miles and miles of silent breeze

They blast sea...
