Slicing through the skies in silence until
ding ding, dang those loud dings of declarations
announcements advising
stay seated
aisles, airplane alleys
causeway carts of concessions
cooperative, concerted
effort to miss elbows and

snoring sapiens

A brilliantly, worded and interesting plane poem. Loved reading it. It almost made me feel like getting on a plane and going away again.
I’m about to jump on a plane right now, so this feels topical Andrea! I liked “concerted effort to miss elbows and shoulders” as an instantly recognisable sign of flying haha.
Loved the alliteration and formatting! This simply soared!
I loved the structure of this! And those carts are no joke. They'll take you out if you don't watch your elbows lol
This is one way to describe air travel.
Snoring sapiens hahahahahahahaha!! I especially loved that!
I knew the word Alliteration because of you. Thanks for sharing it.
Haha! No sound sleeping on flights, that's for sure!
Clever alliterative lines
So whimsical, as someone who travels a lot it sounded so familiar!
I hate aisle seats. Fab use of alliteration, Andrea!
