Wake up your poetry brains with 15 Words or Less (guidelines here)!
When I taught 8th-grade English, my team was called the Thunderbirds, in honor of the U.S. Air Force exhibition squad. I am always amazed at the precision of air teams that do this! This image makes me think of:
* They're so perfect they almost look fake, like little Christmas ornaments!
* The body of the plane looks like the side view of my Swiss Army Knife
* Paper airplane wars during summer school English class in the library between 10th and 11th grade. And rubber band wars, too!
Here's my poem:
Pilot knifes sky
Slicing the quiet into slivers
Leaving bleeding corkscrew clouds
Behind
