Best Takeoff Poems


Before Takeoff
The planes were lined up in a queue,
A reminder of something I knew.
     They awaited permission
      Like at intermission 
In theaters outside of the loo.

One by one each one skyward immersed
As the rest inched up closer...

Cleared For Takeoff
Her life is just about to take off,
As she straps in behind the stick.
The destination might be unclear,
But the route is hers to pick.

Education fuels her craft,
And graduation trips the switch.
She wants to see what there is out there,
The call of adventure is like an...

He is looking for something that is not in this world,
What can fill his soul and heart,
And in every note he finds answers,

Premium Member ROLL AWAY BED TAKEOFF
Roll out
Anywhere
Circling the room
Maybe a stop in Chicago
A good night sleep going left and right 
Hard to sleep tight
All happening at night side to side
One could find themselves sitting at the front door
Rolling away twist and turn soar
Sounds more like a dance
A roll away bed...

The Racetrack
The Racetrack 

   A momentous and thrilling place 
   where people lose their pace 
   looking through the columns of the racing form.

  They seem to be cheerful 
  when they hear of their horse name Fearful...
