Best Lag Poems

Jet Lag
By Franklin Price
12/11/2016

Above the distant mountain tops
Blue skies, contrails of white
Clouds made at thirty thousand feet
By jet planes in their flight

A myriad of vapors 
Crisscrossing in the air
I wonder where they're going
Getting quickly, here to there

Could be to cross the country
Cross the Atlantic in...

Many things improve with age,
Like wine and certain cheeses,
But others turn to hurricanes
What once were gentle breezes.

Like jet lag – for the younger folk,
It barely makes a ripple,
While older flyers feel effects
In double, even triple.

For hours in an airplane,
In your 20’s, is just fun,
Though for...

Over the flag rise it
And the people think
It can be catch

Why suffer the thinking
Of people who think they can
When the flag is down forever

Just forget about it
And walk to the sun....

Maggie, Maggie, my dear friend
Read my last poem and the truth is out
All the kind words you did say 
Were for naught upon this day
I strained my brain now it is blank
I am straining and straining 
Just to come up with Thanks
Now let me see,...

LAG    LIPSTICK & GUM

Once upon a time
Beneath the amber grain
A lady lives her name is
Lizzy bell
A fast fashion pretty lookin princess
Laced in diamonds and rubies and satin dresses
She's a 128 pound and bench press 308
A slick young lady, who never blind dates
A...

The post-trip recovery 
From Sri Lanka situation,
The jet lag situation,
Is not
What it 
Once was
Because his body
Is not
What it
Once was.

We are not alone in this place
Just isolated in space
Our star isn’t dim
Just at our Galaxy‘s very rim

For no other reason
Than it was their mating season
They wined and they dined 
With tentacles entwined
Then they merged and they all
Made mass love in free fall
So engrossed with...

According to those who fly alone on a jet
We ain’t ruined the planet, not quite, not just yet

Thus, they keep flying’ to sound the alert
That Mother Earth’s wounded, yes, she’s really hurt

But first, off to France for a nice frothy malt
Tip toe past China cuz...

I hear the term bandied about
azure seas, endless beach,
Thinking of the far off lands
That took days and days to reach. 

Longing for the tropics,
Baffled by the length of flight,
To finally land on distant shores, 
Unaware if day or night. 

Dark and light, time zones
Knowing relatives...

I see him stumbling around looking for something to hold on to but there was nothing there except the open thin air and a bunch of bureaucrats wearing thin frocks walking around on wet grass with fake greetings and a forced smile that caught us...

A deceitful person is a awful character
Dare I say who
to which describes such a charter
who is this that
shares such traits
Spoken as evil and
In such a debates
Calm the shores
When clouds bring rain
She said she did it
If I am to believe such things
the lines are drawn with
a...

Time is the strictest and most  honest man 
I ever see
Man like to tell beautiful lies
To restrict aging, to maintain youth
Amazing and wonderful
But no matter what are the efforts
All will be ended up by white lies themselves
No matter where're the longitude and latitude
Jet lag...

it's three in the morning
i'm so awake it's euphoric
i want to feel this way forever
drunk on translucence 
the creases in the pillow beam at my exhilaration 
God-fearing doughnuts and coffee  
James Cameron was so excited by 2001
he vomited outside the screening
i listen to the...
