For those of you who feel similar things, how does your experience compare to what I've tried to capture in the poem?
I first got inspiration for this piece when the line, "On phantom wings, I fly, I fly" came to me and I knew I had to write a poem around it. I've been working on this for a while now, but I finally managed to finish it when I had some time to myself following my surgery. I'm still trying to get a feel for expressing myself in metered poetry so this was a bit of a challenge given the length and personal subject matter.
(critique welcome)

Thank you.
I've actually been surprised at how many pilots (especially hang gliders) express feelings similar to what winged otherkin tend to experience. But even then, I suppose it's not quite the same, but the longing for the skies and the feelings of freedom definitely seem to be shared.

This didn't quite make it into the description above, but the beginning of the fourth stanza was actually based on a meteorological/aviation phenomenon known as cloud suck. Luckily for me, I get out of the thermal soon enough in the poem to just pass through the edge of the cloud rather than getting sucked into the heart of a cumulonimbus cloud and getting iced over or hit by lightning.
But yeah, even with the risk of sudden and gruesome death, flying is awesome.
