Machines trail lacy scarves
knitted from white vapour yarn,
write messages across the blue,
encrypted puzzle for those below
Who’s been playing noughts and crosses in our sky?
Where have they come from,

Oh! Love this! Was taking photos of these just the other day and wondering the same — looked like a tic tac toe game in the sky. Nice!!

I think tic tac toe is the US name for noughts and crosses.

I’ve often wondered the same thing myself. 🙂 Only I didn’t say it as well.

They write a trail of destruction
With vapour trails and all,
And make such a noisy ruction –
I’d like to see them fall!
(Not to say I don’t appreciate the poetry and imagery of your take!)

That is more than enough! Before they moved the airport, we had to contend with about fifteen minutes!
