I book my flight.
I climb aboard.
My phone’s now turned,
To Airplane Mode.
I buckle myself,
Into my seat.
Nervously together,
My knees and feet.
The Attendants motion,
The safety rules.
Pay close attention,
Or, play the fool.
The turbines start,
Their increasing roar.
Pilot pushes forward,
Take-off’s in store.
I close my eyes,
And, say a prayer.
Other eyes at windows,
Emotionless stares.
Suddenly we’re light,
Up in the air.
Fuselage bird,
Without a care.
I try to sit quiet,
Hope calm’s then hence.
Before I know it,
Soft landing imminent.

Hope you had a happy landing.
Yes. Thankfully. Had many on my trip to and from my destination last week to Minnesota. Took three planes to and three back. What a trip!
Great lines - hope the occasion was good.
Yes. It was worth the hassle! 🙂

Thank you for flying the friendly skies... great take off and landing have a nice trip see you next fall.
HA HA it did feel like we were falling sometimes, with the turbulance! Thanks WW.
Good write. In pilots terms a good landing is when the plane gets down onto the tarmac, a great landing is one where the plane can take off again after the landing!
Good point! Cannot have one without the other. Thanks Goldfinch!
Well written and expressed Great write

Welcome
A fine write WBL.
I appreciate that orchidee!
This is a nicely written poem revealing our angst in flying. But you gave a lighthearted twist.
I have to say that I have overcome my fear of flying. I just felt if no one else was scared, then why should I be. But, had a couple of rough landings. Thank goodness for brakes! Thanks rrodriguez 🙂
