Best Landing Strip Poems

I've never twitted on Tweeter
                nor am I an Instagrammarian

already naked
estimating time
of arrival suggest
coordinates for my
backyard positioning of
my uncoordinated body
leaving a bit of flexibility
in case of a need for any
slight rearrangements i
might need to make in
deed because this is
poetics not rocket
science and in 
fact it's a 
landing 
not a

launch

ISLAND HOPPING

JOHN M. ARRIBAS


My first day of community service at Glen Oaks
Assigned to spend time with a few elderly folks
Spotted an old gentleman staring out into space
Weathered beaten hands and a sun etched face
How are you today old timer, as I grasp his hand
A firm...

The spaceship floated though the dark night sky,
The crew was so excited their expectations very high,
They had planned this mission for so very long,
Anxious to land they hoped things wouldn't go wrong,

They traveled to this galaxy from very far away,
Leaving families behind they used their...

I ran a string of lights across my roof they twinkled very nicely,
So I wrapped some trees out in the back, six of them precisely.

I hung a snowflake made of light in each window of my house,
My friends were filled with Yuletide cheer I even...

Frightened tepid antisocial ant was football training avidly but failing to attend a fragrant tailor army. Oh dear. That was sure to be put forward to the sacred sanction ship and the sacred sanction ship was neither a scared shrew nor was it a...

Oh bother I look like a badger
and I do not have any hair dye,
But I’ve discovered the perfect product
on its coverage you can always rely

It’s a temporary spray on hair colour
believe me it really is a godsend
as my hairdressers closed cos of covid
and it’s driving...

The airplane's smoking tires kissed the landing strip at Dover.
The long flight bringing thirty brave men back home was over.
The nation mourns as one at the tragic loss of each precious life,
Who gave their all to rescue brothers caught up in terrible strife.

When the ramp...

Beautify here beautify there
Beautify here and everywhere
I luv my wax I'm no intrudah
Man I luv my cute bermuda
I think it's really kinda hip
Man I luv my landing strip
The only wax I cannot hack 
Is the dreaded wax
Back sack and crack......

Just 25 when I decided to take the dive

Home ownership was the landing strip

Built in 1924; lots of old charm to adore

Americas dream or so it seemed

The house was old and had spots of mold

With the price tag, all I saw was gold

4 bedrooms were...

I saw you when you slipped and tripped and fell
Your face was red, your embarrassment glowed, and you cried,
Not from pain, or hurt, but because you were seen
In a position so far removed from normality in your neat and tidy life.

Your handbag exploded, an overturned...

I’m no novelty though I’m a balloon in this parade, 
I’m the blue and red air ship,
And I float around, on my way to return, 
Returning to your glass landing strip.

Then, when I land, I want you to know
That nothing is fearful for us.
Our ribs,...

The Fly 
A fly is buzzing about in the backyard, it sounds like
a small plane lost in the wilderness of space, finally it 
skids and lands on the green lid of the cistern.
The pilot of the plane must find a landing place as it
Is dark...

The leap-then:
Soaring upwards 
The inverse of falling
A solid sky approaches
My doom 
Except for my landing talons
That firmly grip
My master’s arm
A secure landing strip
Warm and reassuring

The meat tastes good
