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.

I envisioned myself flying while I read this. Wonderful feeling. Good 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.
Warmest thanx, love yor coment. So true how u put that Laurie.
You write beautifully from my heart I feel without any seal
Wonderful imagination, melodiously expressed. Good rhymes. Would be really nice to glide like an eagle
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.
