Best Airships Poems

Flying airships battling in the open sky,
 the sailors trying to save their own lives, 
and all the panoplies of war revealed in broad daylight
 unto the human psyche.

The cosmos composed wholly of oceans with no dry soil in sight
 contains many micro planetary islands...

My brother, Lincoln Beachey, made my life a wonder,
Mother's eyes were full of him and loved how he was bold	
I was the shadow elder son of a family in poverty's control
and struggled to to sustain them until my blind father's death.	
In a grey world, Linc...

Our lives and our time
Fired useless
Into the air
Toy cap gun shots
Those winter palaces unstormed
No tax offices ransacked
Where is utopia I asked
And no-one knew
They looked at me with pity
As if I still talked
To an imaginary friend
At my age
I should know better
But I don´t
Instead
I dream..
II
I dream of...

Airships flew the skies
World War One the Goodyear war
Their blimp still flies high...

Ancient Aliens


If humans from great apes evolved
   we would not look like this today,
      for not enough time was involved
to have developed us this way.

Did ancient aliens land here...
   the 'missing link' that refined man?

Everywhere I go, industry dominates this world
Vehicles run on diesel, 
Massive industrial complexes have many factories
That create a skyline of smokestacks
The heavens are filled with a gray only we have created
Man and machine have come together
Like haywire to wire,
Generating a power countries only dream of
Diesel,...

In Juba and Mogadishu Africa queen weeps
To Kigali and Accra African queen flies

In supermarkets African queen...

The purple and grey clouds
come like giant airships
baptizing the veld with millions of drops
falling gently like feathers

The plants dance merrily 
earth sings a serenade of thanks...

Brief: The Land of Aubergine

I search for the land of Aubergine
Where the Egg Plant is nurtured and raised
Pods of Byzantium Airships
Succulence with a Periwinkle glaze

A morning meadow - tall, red-yellow speckled,
now, humbled low by the wind.

Conifer sundials – mirrored shadows, slowly stretching, dancing, and then diminishing - along blurred edges of a lush, flowing sea.

Feathered, high flying eagles soar, circling small and wide, against a blue,...

Honeycombed crocks, like patterns 
On an old quilt
Start and pause without reason
Long dandied extravagant  Peacocks
Strut below airships rising above
Pale blue seas…dust has no  taste
Light reflects off shadows of rouge
Rubbed rough by tears
Only today matters.... white caps roiling
Over  loyalty, held for centuries,
Never released,

War between mother and daughter
Queen Brahne of Alexandria shows certifiable behavior
Daughter Garnet is ready to take her down, and out if necessary
It may sound dark, but just part of a final fantasy that is begging to be released.
Mothers and daughters for centuries have been on...

Gossamer winged gondolier airships
sail on feathered wax-clad wingtips 
travelling blue transparent skies
probing boundaries transfixed on a prize 

dashing darting greeting parting
flirting flurried partners charting 
amplify daydreams with flair
animation takes wing to the air

tails fly and tales spin
spotlights quarantine chagrin
vibrations brandish a two-edged sword 
horizons are...

Sheila stepped out of the mechanized gear-filled lab with her robotic dog.
her lace blouse a contrast to her steam-powered eighteenth-century hog.
Another inventor looked up gave her a quick friendly boy-next-door wave.
His invention would make robotic airships flow and cascade.

Is that another automaton? Sheila yelled at...
