High Flying Poems


When I Hear Simone's High Flying Birds

my eyes drift to the sky
good a so-so feeling
a moment away from the numb

Premium MemberSummer's High Flying Butterfly-

so where it goes my 
fluttering floral flying
butterfly flying
~
 low and forward toward 
the ground flying high in sky 
flying butterfly

Trapeze artists paint lofty subjects
Some given to Fate's flights of fancy
Though most favor nets over drop cloths
The Sistine Chapel had the Lord's touch

A High Flying Cloud

Is heaven where you live out
  your dreams

Those fond wishes life never
  allowed

Is eternity that place
  not yet seen

Where you awaken
—a high flying cloud

Premium MemberHigh-Flying Receiver

Not all of the news apparently was true.
High-flying receiver, what happened to you?
A young pass catcher in the prime of his game,
gets cut from the team, and leaves in shame.
We only heard rumors about what you did off the field.
I wonder what else going around you will be revealed.
What other articles about you will the media yield?
The big alibi is that you are paid too much money.
I don’t know the whole story.  It’s a mystery to me.
Why would the team cut you with your ability?

High Flying Flag

High Flying Flag
Dr. James E. Martin
©December, 2012

The flag was perched aright
It was properly lit at night.
It drew many views,
Was daily in the news,
Till it vanished from everyone’s sight.
