Short Airlines Poems

I dream I am flying,
Meeting those I've invented.
Some have taught me flight.
Others try to drag me down,
Here, in my mind's nightly war....

Kennedy Airport
It's a busy place to be
any day or night.

Nearly all the world's airlines
fly in and out of this place.

RoseAnn Malone resolved to lose weight.
She made a list of foods to forsake.
She did well 'till week four
eating more than before.
Airlines had to bill her at the freight rate....

No frills airlines will get your money
My fair means or by foul
This may mean them charging you
If you need a paper towel
Or if decompression occurs
And the oxygen mask is hanging there
You will have to put a pound coin in
Before it dispenses any air...

Australians all let us raise our voice
For we were young and free
This makes my blood boil on my own soil
Our home is encircled by airlines 
Our land abounds with political gits
Of no beauty, or rarity
In history's page let every stage
Advance Australia unfair....

Arnold, an arrogant associate assistant at American Airlines at Altoona Airport, and Allen, an aspiring actuarial apprentice acquiesced after an aggressive, although adult altercation at Arby's,  Arnold's altruistic argument asserting alliteration as alternative art appropriate....

Don't call it a carry-on
  It may not fit under a seat
Nor an overhead bin item
  Loose -- it rattles, bleats and repeats

You might well ask airlines
  Their fee for a walking cane...
Why, there's no charge at all; they're free
  They're what? ~ Are airlines gone insane?...

Pilot
shaken, 
but composed,
water splashes...
crash!

Fear
prevails,
his voice firm,
to ease panic...
miracle!

Bold
captain
achieves goal,
passengers... 
alive!

Hail
to him,
dauntless captain,
he saved lives...
joy!



My Lanterne is dedicated to Captain Chesley Sullenberger

We need to be open minded
Not being one will close our steps
our steps to sensitivity.

We are multicultural region
some eat halal some don't
but respect is here.

Different dishes need to be served
that of halal and others
Airlines need to it.

We respect faiths and beliefs
we tolerate and we accept
Still many are not sensitive.


I love you peace. Let's sail together. Layag Sug!

Some airlines allow a small pet
To stop folk from getting upset
But a ‘comfort horse’
Isn’t par for the course
I’d challenge this airline’s mindset!

I’m allergic to animal fur
Of kitties who meow and purr
It would drive me insane
If pets were on my plane
I wonder do others concur!

The sky looks clear and though the temps
Are not exactly warm,
The weatherman's predicting
There will be a major storm.

The blizzard warning's on the horn,
The airlines pulling flights;
Anxiety starts ratcheting
To Xanax-taking heights.

At times I wish for days gone by
When storms were a surprise.
We didn't have alerts
So then we couldn't agonize.

Of course we're better off today
So we can be prepared,
But being clueless, so much stress
Would happily be spared....
