Oh, what a sight!
Airplanes take off,
they have reached new heights
And it;s the baby’s birthday
but he’s teething a bit the balloon
burst when he chewed it away
It was springtime, time for allergies
She had her Benadryl
but she could only sneeze
The Japanese weren’t prepared
when the atom bomb was dropped
and brought much despair
I jumped off the ground
And suddenly I’m flying
I’m not homeward bound
Author notes
This poem is about my manic phases when I think I can fly. Each stanza has an image that (to me) describes mania.

A confused imagery.
As perhaps is to be expected, having read your authors notes.
Each stanza paints a different canvas, from the trivial
It was springtime, time for allergies
She had her Benadryl
but she could only sneeze
To one of the most important man made events.
The Japanese weren’t prepared
when the atom bomb was dropped
and brought much despair
What binds these evebts together is the mind of a single individual.
I enjoyed your diction, and your individuality, without a full appreciation of your meaning.
Thank you.
