Take Off Poems | Examples

during take-off i shouted, 'GODSPEED, JOHN GLENN'

the plane ascended.
i yelled it.

this straw in the wind; fly fly fly
i felt it was a necessary affectation 

to ensure a safer flight
or rather a calmer form of passenger

bring out the java
i want to ride the bean

we soar, slope upward 
i greet the turbulence 

with grit
i summon over a flight-attendant and 

offer to help up there with the pilot
she politely turns down my offer

and the choppiness subsides
but i still want a role

give me valiantness, worthiness, nobility 
and astropolitics 

we thank the crew as we disembark 
i look into the flight attendant's helium-3 eyes

'when men are arrived at the goal, they should
not turn back.'

i was stopped at immigration for four hours

And take off

Alone make your way and take off,
Clear all thorns away and take off.

Despite weeds, the unwanted all,
Mind not the jagged clay and take off.

Few steps, and head-wind would lift you,
Wait for no fair day and take off.

Be heedless, let the hurdles lie,
Your own milestone lay and take off.

Wait for holding no friendly hand,
Let fears fall on way and take off.

Prepare for take off

I’m totally transfixed 
I hold my breath 
Tiny fledgling spreads its wings

Twittering parents are watching anxiously
will baby bird fly
I’m totally transfixed

My neighbour’s cat
Is prowling, ready to pounce
I hold my breath

Mother squawks loudly
Danger is now averted
Tiny fledgling spreads its wings

The Take Off

"The Take Off" 

That feeling
when the plane 
speeds down the runway
and lifts up

you know …
how it feels;

left the jungle 
with the forest 
to work it all out
amongst themselves

somewhere in 
the lower atmosphere
wings spread 
ruffling their feathers

for take off

undressing the addressing 
garments and heavy baggage 
no longer required 
in the thermosphere

that place way above 
the camouflaged
claustrophobic
muggy troposphere

you know ...
sans cloak,
naked masks are us;
is it hot in here, or what? 

(LadyLabyrinth / 2023)

A Take Off

Sometimes life is not what it seems to be
I could have said it myself
As I land may my feet be grounded
A journey has begun yet again
Embrace me with open arms
As the happiness is in the heart
I tell you
Sometimes a path is not what it seems to be
I could have gone back 
As I reflect on those memories?may the lessons learnt produce wisdom
An expansion of knowledge 
Honour me with my achievements 
As the experience has been established 
I tell you
Sometimes love is not what it seems to be
I could have known
As I smile may my heart be full of love 
A formulation of souls have been created
Bless me with a kiss
As happiness has come yet again 
I tell you

Take Off

My beautiful golden butterfly                                                                      
You go dancing from flower to flower                                                         
Then you take off to the big blue sky                                                          
Your tiny wings have so much power

Take Off

"Take Off"

I used to feel, now l deal.
Thought l was healed until they broke my shield.
Forget the thrills, not to mention the spills, we need to pay the bills,
Hidden faces on the hills,
My confession sealed.

You see we need to learn to chill before we kill!
Not your brother , father, mother or sister.
Repeat goodness inorder to defeat voodoness.

My speech and prayer till l am no more.
No intimidation, no initiation, no limitations,
Expectations like preceptation,
This is a moment of elevation!

Take Off Your Pharaoh's Mask

Take off your pharaoh’s mask, stay awhile.
Be not uppity for it does not suit you.
I like honesty, 
For who does not?

Throw off your walls – the little ones and the bigs.
Toss them aside, for they will do you no good here.
Conversation is real.
I am your listener.

What chains of madness has wrapped your tongue?
How long has it been since you felt your bliss or
Understood what your heart wants?
Sarcasm and off putting behavior will do you no good.

I am an expert at helping your inner child
Find her way out, moving toward the light
Of her own soul’s opportunities.
And who does not want that?
Truthfully?

Take Off Those Shoes You Have On For the Ground You Walk On Is Holy Ground

Take Off Those Shoes You Have on For the Ground You Walk On is Holy Ground--

As I come into the presents of the Holy land;
I am reminded of wench I came;
Purest is every grain of soil;
This dirt in which we'd stand;

God has said to us..trust
As you walk
Stop and take off
Take off those shoes you have on for the ground you walk
You walk on is Holy Ground

As I come before the house of God;
At I look upon the doorway;
My hand grasp and turns the knob;
In a thunderous voice My Lord said
Stop  Keep thy foot when thou go into the house of God
Put off thy shoes from thy feet: for the place where you stand is holy ground. 

As I come into the presents of the Holy land;
Men rage in battles, they have plans;
I am reminded of wench I came;
Purest is every grain of soil and clay water's drain;
This dirt in which I stand in the presents of the Holy One;

God has said to us..trust
As you walk
Stop and take off
Take off those shoes you have on for the ground you walk
You walk on is Holy Ground

Take Off Your Shoes

Walk the yard with care
For you will see I fear
What the doggies have done
Covering the yard with dung
Scoop poop into a bag
My life has become sad
To keep feet clean
Beware the little presents unseen
Tiny little logs
Churned out by happy dogs
They eat and eat
And go and go
How so much from just two
Little factories producing poo
But they love me true
Chase away the blues
Watch my home with pride
Their devotion can not be denied
So it is something we can do
Before entering the house
                                    take off your shoes.

Take Off

out my window
blades spinning faster
up up and away

Take Off Your Masks

We all have issues in this life none of us is perfect. There will always be someone better then you in this life. But you can be the best you can be in the mean time. See positive reiforcement strengthens the heart. Good things should be told to each other to keep each other solid. A living breathing human being is what we are with real feelings. Some of us are dessensitized to this very notion of thought. Afraid to express their true emotions. Instead they harbor under a false hidden garb of compromise. Let us return to the fundamental basics of love that truly made this country great. Stop being something your not. We each wear masks that are easily taken off from time to time. Just be yourself people can tell is your lying or not. Most importantly God knows the real you the one deep down inside that people try to hide away from society. Be people of positivity ask for the favor of almighty God & share with each other his mighty love. Amen

Before Take Off

M-orn twenty-fourth February
A-ims to let the sun ascend; 
R-ain falling from the sky
I-s beginning to
E-nd.

B-eacon above the horizon
E-liminates the night; 
N-ew dawn early Friday
I-s setting things aright.
T-ime to board the plane, the wait is just enough; 
O-bey the stewardess' counsel, a few minutes before take off.

Take Off Your Mask

START

Take off your Mask 
Sophie Boswell

What do you live for? Was a question put to me
By a gentle loving person, who aimed to set me free
I couldn’t answer his question, thirty years ago
So I moved in the wrong direction, not knowing where to go

I was born to be an artist; to love creativity
But this bothered others, who wouldn’t let me be
People-pleaser, then, was my main aim
While seeking out pleasure, and shying away from pain

What a silly way to live - putting on a mask
Such a waste of time and such a tiresome task
Some lessons come slow; some come fast
But one lesson worth learning is not to live in the past.

Take Off a Load

Take Off a Load

When from feet want to take a load
Must be bright and break the code
Go ahead and sit in nice, new chair
Your poems together do compare.

Me Again,
