Contrails by Adam Rutter

credit: Adam Rutter

The sky above – contrails draw straight lines with chalk

 Leaving deep scratches

Higher up, airlines make the skies talk

Contrails, illuminated by the sun, makes the planes speak

 I wake, to hear those thin white lines screech

Many crisscross like rails

Flying way to some faraway beach seems out of reach

Contrails fill the ocean blue skies with curtains

Whatever happened to those beautiful white sails?

An original poem, Adam; you chose an interesting subject to write about. A very thoughtful, imaginative piece.
