Eagles teach us how
Our minds power us upward
Levitation works!

A Haiku? Is that
a seventeen meter ship?
plum blossom paint, right?

OK, I will bite...

Flirting clouds gaze down
Fingers bold and brave fulfill
giddy heart's desire



Gear is down and locked.
Air speed, traffic, spoilers, wind
No going around.

Low again. Dig out.
Curse, forsake, cajole, seduce.
one knot full circle!

What did I forget?
Too many things to list...
The checklist! That's it.

A little fun. I have been describing soaring to power pilots as the
Haiku of aviation, seemingly simple, but actually perhaps the most
multi-faceted. Got me thinking, why not give it a try? Anyone else
care to try?


This is really addictive!


Warmth and wind raise us
Minds, not motors, propel us
Soaring silently


Corkscrew up to clouds
Running downwards at high speed
Gliding is an art


No second chances;
Every landing is final;
Airmanship is key


A glint of high white
A glider soaring in wave
A sublime ascent


Fuel doesn not bind us
Gravity does not hold us
Our minds make us free

Colin,
A happier variation of yours.

Well-formed Cumulus
Strong streeting and high bases
I leave the office

[Shame I'm stuck at work]
