Christmas Plane (2008) Poem

Christmas Plane
Miranda Smith

“Ka-thunk, ka-thunk, ka-thunk” went the rollers form the suitcase onto the plane.

The flight attendants greet the passengers,
With fake smiles and pleasant hellos,
Just like cheshire cats,
With rosie cheeks and snow white teeth,
As the passengers begin to take their seats.

No worries, no scurries, no hurries,
Blankets and scarves and cuddles to go around,
Look out the window and you can see flurries,
No one knew the events bound.

The plane rolled off into the night air,
Bouncing and shaking,
So far so good,
Only bumping.

An hour into the flight,
There’s a terrible rumble,
And a loud explosion,
And suddenly the plane is vibrating violently.

Panic and screams are hollered out,
It’s only when the captain’s voice is heard,
That the passengers quiet down and follow instructions to remain calm,
And pray.

It’s almost Christmas, and the captain must get everyone home safely,
With a flick of a few buttons,
And a harsh turn to the right,
The captain lands the plane,
And all is alright.
