| Poetry thread
In my recent readings, I've been coming across a few poems written/inspired by air/ground crew so thought I'd start a thread dedicated to that type of poetry. I know there's a poetry section in the general discussion, just thought I'd start a "specialised" one...plus I enjoy posting!
Of course, we have John Gillespie Magee's justiafiably oft-quoted High Flight. Will post others later when I have access to what I've read (at work at mo!) but one of my fave's is Peter Clare's signature.
On weald of Kent I watched once more
Again I heard that grumbling roar
Of fighter planes; yet none were near
And all around the sky was clear
Borne on the wind a whisper came
'Though men grow old, they stay the same'
And then I knew, unseen to eye
The ageless Few were sweeping by
