A rather unattractive captain tried groping me once, but as he was flying the plane I decided not to bash him over the head, but made a sharp exit instead. (No wonder he flies from the cockpit)<BR/>This is brilliant... thank you :-)Annie Ghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04703057351436504483noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6239241293494668004.post-9997209923493037592008-01-10T05:31:00.000+01:002008-01-10T05:31:00.000+01:00I travel a lot with my job, the biggest issue for ...I travel a lot with my job, the biggest issue for me is "What sort of wacko will be in the seat next to me?"

Perhaps that's why I'm still struck by the ethos of airports, aeroplanes and all the feelings they evoke.<BR/><BR/>Flying is largely fun (as long as you don't worry about the ice caps melting and don't mind the queuing and waiting for various processing at each end!). Worst bits are ears popping on take-off - make sure you have a boiled sweet about your person - and how soft or heavy-handed the landing is going to be. Oh, & you occasionally fly through a bit of turbulance, but that's ok.<BR/><BR/>No poetic posterity for me so far anyway...The Poet Laura-eatehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07779308486569849157noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6239241293494668004.post-19237667724138680382008-01-09T14:01:00.000+01:002008-01-09T14:01:00.000+01:00This might be a surprising confession, but despite...This might be a surprising confession, but despite being almost 36, I have never flown.<BR/><BR/>That will all change on May 31st.<BR/><BR/>There was a lovely story behind your poem (and yes, some of that imagery was almost Freudian!)... but nothing to reassure me I'll survive the experience...Rolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02103804480646939038noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6239241293494668004.post-8042407562837115812008-01-09T10:00:00.000+01:002008-01-09T10:00:00.000+01:00Thanks for the comments folks.I was intrigued to k...Thanks for the comments folks.<BR/><BR/>I was intrigued to know if anyone else had been struck by the sheer masculinity of aeroplanes and thought I'd have some fun with the concept (though never the aeroplanes themselves, honest!)<BR/><BR/>Well got to occupy my mind somehow now they no longer give me the free colouring-in books (and I've already seen Atonement!)The Poet Laura-eatehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07779308486569849157noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6239241293494668004.post-87967149761834182672008-01-09T08:27:00.000+01:002008-01-09T08:27:00.000+01:00Makes me want to jump in a plane and fly away righ...Makes me want to jump in a plane and fly away right now...! ;-)Stevehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02133900289384226725noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6239241293494668004.post-82993939318959984272008-01-08T17:59:00.000+01:002008-01-08T17:59:00.000+01:00Loved the imagery and word construction.
