Flying Poem
Watching the Sky
In loving mermory of my Dad, ,Loren D. Holmes On currents not seen by the human eye, A biplane climbs in the sky Wafting through clouds and over the sea, It dips wings in salute and waves to me I watch it pass by on double wing And my mind wanders away, reminiscing To another time and faraway place when the plane and I were a part of that space To a day long ago, an afternoon in July floating through the air, my Dad and I He the pilot and I his crew cast cares to the wind and away we flew We lift off the ground on a breath of thin air then turn and bank, the wind in our hair. The propeller turns and the engine roars As we cruise high above the earth?s emerald floor A journey through time and a sojourn in space we fly on and on with the wind in our face Time seems suspended and the day falls away as we spend precious hours in this magical play A patchwork below us, sky blue, clouds above I sit in my jumpsuit, my heart filled with love for the plane and the man and the privilege we share, together this day, flying through the air From that time to this, I remember that day as I see two wings cross the sky and I silently say Hello to the man who taught me to watch the sky for the sight of a biplane ? which brings a tear to my eye? Carol Keene (cadetat6 Art)

Beautiful words. I am sure even more beautiful memories. As a poet myself, I cherish those rare moments in life that last forever. Keep watching the skies!

here's one of my poems...just publised by www.lulu.com:
My, my sweet July My, my sweet July There?s too much bliss Within your month to miss The downs of snow and pendent ice And the thought I thought was nice, When slowly into sleep I slipped With feet still wet from being dipped, That ?loneliness? is a cold, cold word And should from Webster?s book be ripped.
