Pilots Poems - Poems about Pilots

WE ARE THE PILOTS

May we be blessed to understand 
(whether or not we find it in a rhyme)
one basic truth, 
one basic fact
one basic principle of time

If you give me but a moment 
I’ll try my utmost to explain:

It’s remembering as time flies by so quickly…
we are the pilots of our plane.

THE PILOTS OF SALAMANDER

The Pilots of Salamander

                                      Sixty five days I lived my life
       

The Pilots Poem

Starting a new plan a project or a new business is very similar to taking a flight.
Once your plane gets off the ground, its smooth sailing through boundless skies graceful as a kite.
When preparing a plan for a flight, the captain always requests that we put on a seat belt for the beginning of the

The Flying Aces

The Aces are coming the female ducklings said. There’s Dash!
Duckling adoration toward these valiant flyers with panache’.
One glided in on half a fighter jet that had a huge gash.
They entered the French restaurant and made a great splash!

They are heroes! The French ducklings yelled out with glee.
You can have him and Jim but save Henry

Russian Fighter Pilots Are Cowards

As I sit in my seat
My life is complete

As I look down to the ground
My target I have not yet found
Nor will it be, at least not by me

Because for me at least
In my ejector seat
That doesn't matter

I get in quick
Drop the bombs
Release the missiles
Stick the afterburners on

I am such a hero back at home,

Here Come the Wasps

A gentle droning fills the officers’ club
Here come the wasps, someone says
A silence fills where conversations were
Some of the officers walk to the windows
To gawk at the new WASPS

Shiden-Kai

Shiden-Kai
After the battle
Fishing the plane
From the water
No fighter pilot
Where is he?
Gone far away
Where warriors go
Shiden-Kai pilot
One of six
Lost that day
B-Sans or Hellcats
All the same
Way back '45
Old fading times
Not even memories
Don't forget them
Of all sides
Silence ...

Real Cost

real cost
what of the pilots' girlfriends and wives? 
what were they told? 
when their aircrew partners were mia?
not from iran or russia or china but alien
missing in action but deniable
missing over the ocean…

Kamikaze Pilots

One of the mysteries in the history of man
Kamikaze pilots wearing helmets, I don't understand
To live and to die
For the Emperor, they cry
Unimaginable to us but for the glory of Japan

NEVER EVER FORGET THEIR STORIES...

Be it the 5 MITSUBISHI A5M CLAUDEs that ditch due to fuel starvation in the sea

Or the 3 FOCKE WULF 190s that hit a German mountain. One had a red nose...

Or those perished on TINTWISTLE KNARR (AVRO LANCASTER-7 DEAD, 3X HAWKER HURRICANES-3 DEAD, LOCKHEED P-38 LIGHTNING-1DEAD)

And on and on and on

8th Son

I've a spare Red Horse beer.
I'd give it to a Mustang pilot called Fredericks.
We can talk planes and drink.
I'd tell him how we looked for your location.
Sunny 8 impacted Castleshaw Moor.
Don't you know my friend and I looked thrice.
We never found your warplane.
Though I found true peace up there.
I wanted to stay up on the

Brave Early Pilots

Back in the times
When airplanes were new
And small engines unreliable
Circa 1930’s
Pilots took their lives in their hands
Their sense of adventure was keen
Risking life for duty
Delivering precious mail across continents
Linking cultures faraway and exotic
Flying over oceans, mountains and deserts
Vast stretches of land as far as the eye could see
Totally uninhabited, not ideal for engine trouble
Not a

Ins and Outs Vs the Flying Saucer Pilots

I have an important message
for man's best friend
humming like rolling wheels at 90
incandescent like a hubcap overhead
listen to this you highway palm readers
the pressure in this tire
is anatomically incorrect
and at four atmospheres
ALERT!  ALERT!
all radar units report your locI and foci
on the plan-it planet,
space never got named
by causes and their waiting effects
the secret of death
is

I Guess We Weren'T Really Pilots

At one time, we flew.
Nothing could stop our momentum.
There was a path forged in the time 
that we made for each other.
You stepped in and stopped my 
madness. Atleast for a short time.
You gave me peace.
For this period of love, we both knew
it's beauty but we both soon forgot.
In time, we left love in the

Kamikaze Pilots

One of the greatest mysteries in the history of man
Why kamikaze pilots wore helmets, they didn't give a damn
For the Emperor, they cried
They were prepared to die
Unimaginable to us but for the glory of Japan
