Jumbo Jet Versus The Jackdaw Poem by s.zaynab kamoonpury

Jumbo Jet Versus The Jackdaw

Rating: 5.0


If only we could fly like those that tweet or hoot
without aid of jet or parachute

For I sure don't like wings that roar
just so that they take off and soar

Ah to fly without diesel or fuel
Oh to halt that midair duel

Birds they don't pollute the air
nor need they any airline fare

So if only I too could rise and glide
and let the wind be my sole guide

I'd be happy to fly all the way to 'em' stars
if I was assured I'd risk no charred scars.

Flying without aviation formalities
I could be sightseeing many more cities

Ah I so wish to fly just like a jay or jackdaw
Then I'd fly across all and every border
For I'd know nor follow
no man-made law!

Love this, freedom. The rhyme contained in each second line works well. Not sure about the 2 apostrophes in line 11 if it is the word them should it not be 'em to indicate missing letters? Regardless the flow is good and the ideas soars. Thank you for this poem.

Great poem! Birds' flight is so superior to man-made flight. Interesting that nobody doubts the intellgence of the designers of airplanes, but some say birds just came about by chance.

I know what you mean, I always wished to do same as you, but I never wanted to do it with earthly construction and big pieces of iron, but only of my own. Maybe some day we will be able to do it, I never gave up on my dream.
