Best Helicopter Poems

We walked among the birch trees
    To pass the summer days.
And did our best to trick ourselves
    To try and lose our way.
But with success of getting lost
    Our courage turned to fright.
When concern gave way...

One morning, when I was stationed at base operations in Subic, I had a
telephone call. A Filipino shipyard worker had died during the night-shift,
on the job at the navy repair facility, apparently of natural causes. But to
cover our backsides, the shipyard wanted to fly the...

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...

Lost Helicopter Finally Found

There is this so sad thing we must admit
One of our helicopters into hillside had hit
And all lost their lives who were within
We pray this will never happen again.

Many emotions are at an all-time low
As all of our tears started to overflow
For...

The passengers were strapped in tight,
Excited for their twilight flight.
To get a close-up city view,
The doors were open as they flew.

One selfie shows a beaming guy
With thumbs-up as they hit the sky,
Expecting to see New York’s sights,
So magical with all those lights.

But once the Brooklyn...

Helicopter parents
They are at school daily
Begging to stay longer
Criticizing other people’s children and the teacher
Wanting to bring their lunch
And take naps with their kindergarteners

Helicopter parents
Send long rambling emails to the fourth grade teacher
Why did you say this?
Why did you do that?
What did you mean when...

While White House resident lovers
Can stay in bed under covers

In her place instead
President Musk often hovers

The helicopter tried to land
On a place that was already ban
It starts to sink slow
Torn to pieces, even the door
Parts scattered, over a bed of quicksand...

A plane had just crashed 
A red flag was flashed 
Secrets had been stashed 
Sixty-seven died 
The government lied 
Helicopter too 
Too low had they flew 
Wonder if they knew 

If the plane in flight 
Was at the right height 
To land there alright 
I...

A helicopter rescue
Sounds traumatic, not just for 
The rescuee, since witnesses 
May suffer even more.

No matter what the circumstance,
There’s drama, which must be
Impossible to reconcile 
With one’s reality.

Yet once the patient’s lifted
And is safely in the air,
There’ll be comfort in receiving 
All the very best...

The mechanical birds with broken wings,
Rust together with lofty dreams...
That they will yet fly again,
In a cloudless sky, in which to tend.

But for now,
They are parked like cars,
Lined up neatly,
In a helicopter graveyard.

Sale signs do adorn,
Many of their windows...
But even just for parts,
Freedom again, they...

Perseverance, ingenuity: hallmarks of great mind...
Examples which we Earthlings are expecting more to find.
As NASA's news now streams from Mars, where there is little air
And yet they're setting up the helicopter dispatched there.
With AIR as so essential for the flight of an AIRcraft
We'll see if...

A man's joke could not trigger laughter:
A good one about helicopter
Some poor guy often flew in dreams
While in true life could not pay for creams;
Audience of joke cracker creditors,
Who needed prompt cash for auditors;
Three with him for their thousand dollars,
On that day joke cracker's First...

The fearsome sight of an armor
To an army ‘pleasing glamour,’
Now confirmed a raging rumor
Of that nice folks loathe like tumor…

A long thriving peace is over, 
Bleak wars beginning to hover;
Here, right now, Soldiers’ Range Rover
Their helicopter “I’d take cover!”

For us all a jammed peace talk:
War...
