Best Seat Of The Pants Poems


Premium Member Purple Pondering
I’m at the age where
I’ve grown really long hair
And I don’t denim care
That the trend is to cut it

No longer wearing high heels
Just for a flex or a thrill
More about how my feet feel
And they don’t love it

I don’t have many pink plans
Flying by seat...

Digital Footprints
one night i dreamt i was surfing in cyberspace &
many images flickered in Adobe Flash
with every movement made, every keystroke &
slide of the mouse to & fro,
i hadn’t a clue (in real time), but i knew 
that there were centillions of digital footsteps 
being made...

Kitted out with a uniform, I felt the part, 
But the deesire inside is always the art;
I was enlisted as a pilot under training, 
And inoculated, vaccinated in yearning. 

The medical exam asserted no divinity,
And taught us about our own humanity;
I passed it with flying...

Fly-Boys
World War I gave us the fly-boys
Who flew by the seat of their pants.
Many would never return from war
While others survived by chance.

Their planes were mostly canvas and wood
Gasoline, bullets, bombs and poison gas.
Every pilot carried his own pistol
Wearing leathers, scarf and goggles of glass.

Aviators...

Mama's Eyes
Remember when you were a kid
and you wish you'd gone and hid?
Mom gave you that look
from the corner of her eye 
that said
you'd been caught in a lie.
With just one look
that's all it took
and you begin to cry.
With the narrowing of her eyes
that filled you...

Keep Me Under Control
I am so wild, I carelessly run around
I am the last horse in a one horse town
I'm as wild as wild can be
I have zero guidance, so I live my life aimlessly
Do what you have to, send me to assist the Border Patrol
I need someone...

My Son Stole My Credit Card
My teenage son decided to steal my credit card.
I put him over my knee and spanked him hard.
He's been a pain in the butt ever since he first peed in my face.
He spent five thousand dollars in one day, it's truly a disgrace.
He bought stuff...

Ahh what do I write?
I think I will write about I can feel you
Yeah I sure can
But I don't know one thing to the next
But it's kinda fun
I have no idea of what I am doing one minute to the next
fly by the seat of...

This is the story of old Mexico
Long ago in Nogalez town
About a young farm boy, while riding his burro
He could see something that was in the ground

He climed off his burror and started to dig
He could tell it was something round
All wraped in burlap was...

Roads have been long ones, for many an old man
who traversed every path, without having a plan.

Always flying, vicariously, by the seat of our pants.
Fighting many a battle, never in states of rants.

We just bears it, and carry on with the good fight
as our...

Another boy at the high school dance

Seeking love and a little romance

Then the cutest girl smiled

And I bowed quite beguiled

But it ripped out the seat of my pants...

The Ants On the Table
I was sitting in the Florida sun,
Enjoying a moment of quiet fun-
When I noted some tiny ants hurrying across the table,
I wondered if it was fear or just because they were able.

Many times people are like these tiny ants,
We scurry around living by the seat...

Remember the oldest are wiser and more knowledgeable by far…
They have lived in this world seeing the best and worse there are.
They have seen more of life’s trip falls than you can ever guess.
They’ve traveled, seen other lives, and worked with those less...

Love Stuck

It started out as a cheek to cheek dance
an invitation to come take a chance
cupid pulls back the bow
letting love’s arrow go
now it’s stuck in the seat of my pants.
