National Poetry Month – Day 18: Airplane

Sometimes, when I look up at airplanes in the sky, I wonder where the passengers are going, and what they’re thinking about their destination. Is it an adventure? Or a business trip? Is it a honeymoon? Or a family reunion? Sometimes, I imagine I’m on the plane, headed to a place I’ve never been before. And sometimes, I even imagine my father is flying the plane.

So, the inspiration for Day 18’s haiku is a photo I took of an airplane appearing to pass by the moon.

As always, I welcome your haiku, too. Does seeing an airplane high above inspire your imagination? How about seventeen syllable? You might just win a copy of my book, Life: Haiku by Haiku!

An airplane flying across a twilight sky with a moon visible, surrounded by tree branches.

    Going straight upwards
    Then shaking violently
    Falling like a stone
