The Flyer - a Poem for The Sunday Muse
THROUGH THE AIR
Flying through the air two ropes holding tight
Our lady flew with the greatest of ease
Knew in her mind the pilot hauling her
She picked the pilot and the plane from looks
This one knew his business, looked so sincere
Plane doing loop to loops, stays on course
Pilots don't know she is there, can't see her
You won't see her either fine aerialist
She sees her life on the ropes in the air
Lillian Leitzel's* new life in our minds
*Note: Lillian Leitzel (2 January 1892 - 15 February 1931) famed aerialist fell to her death performing in Copenhagen, Denmark.

Thank you for the link, Jim. What an interesting lady!
An interesting glimpse of a life.
Clever way to weave in two photos. Thank you for the intro to an interesting artist who took chances. A sad ending.
That sounds like a tragic story Jim
💙
At least she died doing what she loved.
Love this one, Jim!
You had me flying high with Lillian, Jim. Oh, to fly high.
Such a creative take on the images. She was flying, doing the thing she loved when mortality asked for the ticket.
