FLYING MACHINES: award winner

FLYING MACHINES


It is quite interesting
Inside indigo skies,
Enjoying solitary
Flight in flying machines.

Air impinges crashing in
Tiniest brief instants,
Inflicting injuries in
Pilot’s minds incessant.

Nice it is intriguingly
Encircling in high winds,
Stopping ultimately his
Machine’s firing engines.
