Best Raf Poems

The character of a hero is one to covet
Through hard work, and exceptional courage
A man of distinction you cannot miss.
Noble full of strength to achieve his goal
Doing all possible according to his ability
One aim, one plan.

Alexander Graham bell and Winston Church hill
Both have a story...

Cuba…Mamma Mia…like most of the Caribbean; part of the 1492 slam…
Slavery, sugar plantations… invasions, upheaval, independence…
Then the American kisses; with a slight twist…who initiated the ’disses’…?
Was it Blaine…is he insane…?
Was it Marti…the heart of the party…?
Or Teller…many say he was the real speller…
Or Estrada Palma…could...

My freedom, my interactivity, 
I owe to you and your stickability, 
Tho’ you be dead and dumb to me, 
You have a voice in my vocality. 

The cemeteries and the epitaphs, 
Are the courage and valour graphs, 
Defining the mechanism, the paths, 
Of the affirming...

Exodus on a massive scale
1940 under assail
Three hundred thousand
Fathers and sons
Dunkirk evacuation
From the Hun
 
Armada 
Not seen for hundreds of years
To save our hero's, relay their fears
1500 ships of many sorts
Arrived on mass
Naval escort
 
British and French
Beached and battered
Quest to save Europe
Defeated and shattered
 
Queues...

Drones abound the London sky 
Search lights stray and flick to something and nothing
The bicycle dings its bell every sixth house 
As the warden swishes his front tyre left and right up the empty evening street
The council house drapes of black and brown are shut...

I volunteered for service in the RAF in early 1942,
When I’d just become 18 and got three shillings a day;
I became a Wireless Operator/Air Gunner right through,
And was then sent home to await training, the array.

I was called for duty in August ’42 as a...

Continuation of Brodsky’s History of the Twentieth Century 

1918.  A flu pandemic in Spain takes hold, 
From Kansas over the seas in America bold, 
Women’s suffrage win the vote, 
Their opinion is not remote, 
Russia switches from the Julian calendar, 
To the Gregorian, the...

My uncle went to West Point Military Academy, 
Was the second US citizen to be a licensed pilot, 
So I thought my knowledge would help everybody, 
So I became an Eagle, an American RAF pilot. 

We all signed up September 1940, keenly poised,
But did not...

RAF navigator Ron Day and I took of from Banff, Scotland,
I was in the RAAF, an Australian, and we flew in formation:
40 Mosquitos to attack German ships in Norway land,
In a harbour, Porsgrunn, but then came an acclamation.

“Bandits three o’clock! “,  and so we...

Whilst Jon-Allan was out Iraq to warfare ban, 
In 2007 he sustained an injury, rocket attack, 
So that doctors had to amputate his left arm, 
But after rehab he continued the sport’s crack. 

He’d been a weapons technician in the RAF, 
At Basra airbase, and...

One night I saw an unusual sight
gliding across the sky,
moving along quite slowly
and it didn’t seem very high.

Shining like a beam of light
but silent as a cloud,
surrounded by a pale blue mist
which acted as a shroud.

Shaped just like a boomerang
but it’s metal shone so bright,
even...

Showers light or hard
bring cleansing and a pause
to your current ritual 
forcing amnesia of your flaws. 

A gift from up above
to remind your of your love
to lay back and paddle back
to memories you don't speak of. 

Rain rain stay all day
pour so we are forced...
