Landings Poems - Poems about Landings

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.

Luna Landings

The measure of immensity
is a small step,
just a footfall
snagged by a tufted hole
in the space-time fabric.

The way you fall is the way
you get out of your bed
when the day is already too bright.
All things fall upwards
from the empty seed.

The vastness of insignificance
needs a Dollar Store magnifying glass,
anything more expensive
would only distort perception yet more.

Happy Landings

Life pilots Death
Death navigates Life
let Karma not be
your flight less traveled
Seat belts sign off.

Unplanned Landings

I have not been on a plane since 2019
That was some three months before COVID-19.
The 2019 trip was one of the worst of my flights.
However, although uncomfortable, it was planned.

But I prefer to tell you about our unplanned flight.
In 2016, my wife and I boldly decided to fly one way.
The flight back would be 'up

Landings

A bird has landed 
On my porch.
Say it a thousand times,
You may be one- half step 
Closer to the Miracle.
We look for pain 
And find it
We look for joy 
And find it
We learn 
We can find anything
If we open our eyes
Love looks for you now
It will find you because 
Like trees in a forest
Flowers in

Condo Commando Landings

Condo Commando Landings

They came in shiny silver saucer shaped air ships
With cylindrical flashing red lights in the night
From Planet New Jersey
Alien space crafts…. I mean .… weather balloons, (according to NASA)
From many light years…. I mean… traffic lights away
Landing in Miami first with a thirst for power
They slithered from the… ‘Weather balloons” in zombie brigades

Butterfly Landings

Butterfly Landings 



It’s a precarious perch
High by a skydive
In such a leap of faith
A leap of love
Circumnavigates these boots of Earth
Fellow to the stratospheres
These butterfly landings
Of you in my heart

Destinies lance
Has shot me full to the sun
On the twirling chant sung
Ever re initiates
And sounds the river onward runs
Always
Of your name
Settles red iridescence
To tip the scales
These
