Landing Poems - Poems about Landing

On Landings

I shan’t think a landing is sound
That leaves both a ditch and a mound.
A plane should align,
Like steak with good wine,
To kiss, not to crush, with the ground.

Landing

             a snow covered bench
           welcomed winter visitors
               the Blue Jays landed

Christ Jesus surfacing on Earth

The most splendorous success was man landing on the moon
The most splendorous success was Christ Jesus surfacing on Earth
Yes: The most splendorous success was the moon meeting man

Coming Down to Earth Grounded

I see a clearing
It's big enough to land in
The grass is short
No rocks or bumps
It's all clear for landing

My heart beats in panic
Tears of sweat run down my face
Fear grips my body
In expectant embrace

The engine splutters and coughs
Bangs erupt from broken wings
I hear my own screams

The smoke is acrid in flared nostrils
My flesh burning, stinks

Ah!

Moon by Jim Barlow

Meaningless thoughts drift slowly across my mind
Surrounded by bright gray and ebony sky.
Magnificent desolation envelopes me.

No perceived horizon,
All is calm, devoid of 
Air, wind, and rain.

I breathe and take in
The stark beauty of a pristine 
Celestial world.
Undisturbed and powdered beneath my feet
The cratered landscape reminds me
That I am an intruder,
In a realm unfamiliar
But majestically beautiful.

Magnificently

Landing

Emergency Landing

Hard to park a plane
Emergency at the beach
To an unreal lane.

Landing in The Dream Catchers Mit

He sends me to bases that have stunned many faces, including that of mine.I feel the dream catchers power running through my spine, incresing my faith, to run to next base without stumbling, very humbling.As I strive to reach home base, keeping my vision on the Dream Catchers Mitt.

Evening Landing

Wings slice evening air,  
Geese alight on mirrored pond,  
Splashing, ripples spread,  
Feathers silver, dusk turns gold,  
In the twilight, shadows wed.

The Chosen Landing

To V on the passing of her mother

They say we choose our parents from some ethereal plain
Deciding on the womb to bare the birthing and the pain
And knowing not  their circumstance before we came to be 
Inherit all the good and bad in their lives we may see

They say there is a reason for

A Soft Landing

On the edge of time,
standing poised,
I ponder:
do I wait for a bridge
to cross over
the abyss,
or do I dare jump
into the abyss,
hoping
the descent into madness
is a soft landing
for me?

LUNE LANDING - series of lune haiku

LATE BLOOMER
sun highlights
the bod of oak bark -
Autumn knight

CLINGERS
won’t let go -
cling to puppy love,
its branches

CLEAVERS
cleaves to old
relationship vow -
storm shakes loose

LANDING
the leaves land
amidst the old maids’
bitterness

BRITTLE BONES
the children
jump in old gals’ laps
living loud

RING AROUND THE ROSIES
circle round
sing, “ashes…ashes…”
and fall down

LEARNING CURVE
life up there
in the lusty air
now seems strange

GONE WITH THE WIND
scattering
the old bats’ ashes
to

The Landing of Autumn

Listen my friends to the bells that tinkle and jankle
The early and spontaneous arrival of autumn,
It is a painful and unusual surprise for the birds,
Which wanted to dawdle among the weak reeds.

Tonight, the sun will disappear surreptitiously sooner.
The schoolboys are unhappy. They refuse to utter a word.
Their parents are elated to see how time is

Soft Landing

Sometimes get stuck on a solo mission 
As the only ticketed passenger in sight 
But alternative routes are available 
We just need to book our return flight 

Begins by checking in with ourselves 
To take inventory of our baggage 
Choice in claiming what we keep
Option to offload damaged luggage

Purposely piloting our own plane now
Pulling levers
