Aircraft

Hi! Day 1, this is exciting! And... I've done it. This is poem one.

Hopefully subsequent poems will be easier to write... and make more sense

Aircraft

A thunderous plane flashes over at night.

The pressure up there
Can turn men
Inside out.

Frozen
With fear.

Never have I ever
Been as terrified as this
In my life.

  1. Ah NaPoWriMo!
    Hopefully we'll all be able to manage it. I love the poem it's simplistic but has an emotional meaning/overview. I guess NaPoWriMo really gives you the chance to play with different styles/formats with poetry. I look forward to reading more!

  3. Thanks Abbie! :D

    Paolo- Thanks! Yes, and, the weirdest thing is, I didn't even realise I had (sort-of) copied the last lines from Ungaretti, until I had published it, and re-read it. Promise!
