Great free verse Trisha about a plane flight and the colours and sights outside the window. Well used alliteration to enhance descriptions. I enjoyed this flight with you,
cheers,

Comment from rama devi
This is quite compelling! I like the surreal quality of overlapping imagery.
I LOVE popcorn clouds--so imaginative!
One spag (Earth should be capped when used as a proper noun--a place):
The e(E)arth became a watery abyss
Love this line:
Darkness spread in eerie sheets
I also applaud all the inventive personification, like here:
Below me buildings ran away
and here:
Clouds smiled and hurried by
and here:
Calm became trampled by feet
POTENT, unique and memorable lines:
As man's bird lowered down
The world became a bigger place
Thought provoking and highly original poem. Congrats!
Warmly,
rd

Comment from Debbie Pope
Trisha, this may be my favorite of your poems. You wrote the poem that I have often tried to write about the unearthly experience of flying. I like "darkness spread in eerie sheets" and "time and space became blurred, melting into fantasy."
This is a beautiful poem, Trisha. I wish that I had a six star rating for this worthy poem.

Comment from June Sargent
We went away last month and the flight was peaceful and enjoyable as long as we were up with the clouds. Once we landed, however, the noise and chaos at the airport was a cold splash of reality. I could relate to this piece. Nicely done.

Thank you June, I have flown over 100,000 miles and it got progressively more chaotic. The real peace is in a flight with no drunks, aggressive people, or screaming children. The airport is another story. I appreciated your review.
Hugs, Trisha

Great job! ;) ;) Yvette

I enjoyed your free verse contest entry, Bucketlist. The picture is super and a perfect choice for your well-chosen words that describe the flight of the plane well. I could envision this as I read it. Good job and best wishes. Jan

Comment from Sandra du Plessis
A very well-written free verse poem about flying in an airplane let us feel like birds high in the air. When the airplane starts descending we realize it is only a manmade bird.

Thank you, thats a wonderful comment. I flew to England every summer for eight years, and always preferred terra firm-a.There are too many negatives nowadays to enable relaxation. It can be very stressful.

Hello Trisha,
You're written a wonderful free verse poem for the contest
with excellent imagery of the time and space between
as the metal bird rises in the sky.
It is a eerie feeling and strange thought that something that large
can be lifted by wind beneath the wings.
Excellent picture to match your words
Well done
Good luck in the contest
Robert
