Dave, I know what you mean. coming in for landing at the Pittsburgh airport always seems rocky. I love to fly, but my stomach doesn't. when we land in Pittsburgh, I'm glad to get off and let my stomach settle!
there's no place like home...... Enjoyed this poem very much. Been on a couple of air buses like this one.
cheers J'nia

Your poem reminded me of several nightmarish flights I've had in my life, as an intrepid flyer all over the world. You aptly capture the terror and discomfort that flying can bring. Your imagery is strong and rhythm is captivating. Nicely written work, David. Thanks for sharing.

Very nice touch and I felt each tremor too! ;)

I fly sometimes, but I'm not a confident flyer. Luckily, I've never been in an airplane under stormy conditions. BTW-I like your 'shadow photo'. Very mysterious...
Whew I'm glad you made it. Somehow I missed this poem. I know you're busy but it would be nice to read your work every now and again ;-)
Take care David

Thanks for taking us on this ride in the cockpit, David. As a teenager I wanted to join the Civil Air Patrol and learn to fly, but my mother wouldn't allow it. Anyone who even has been a passenger aboard beachcraft can relate to this one. Glad to see that you landed safely!
This was no mere illusion. Colin Chase Rand, pulled through a magical portal, landed in 1935 where the dust bowl and the Great Depression was destroying lives, and a serial killer was in their midst
