Charging into gale –
Slowing and rising ’til stopped –
Floating for minutes –
In equilibrium with
Jet stream until blown away

Grey and white clouds –
Sun burned and pure –
Dirty and clean –
Man and God made

With a star in the night sky –
But nothing happened

Jet-ski jumping guy –
Criss-crossing behind ferry –
To jump off wake waves

The jet vapour trails –
Glowed more with time as
Sunlight hit them the right way

Big Lift Ferry Poem F190
Ten jet vapour trails –
Cut the sky so evenly –
The view looking up –
Resembled the inside of
A celestial seashell

Jet across the sky –
Vapour trails behind –
A slow, man-made meteor

Tanka T074
I suffer about
Two hours of jet lag each time
I return to work –
Living days off work on a
Night owl’s Circadian clock
