Impression
sketch of German zeppelin in neutral air space - by Jamie.
Following trajectory
Of movement in skies -
Up to three airships
Were observed to fly
Over Dutch territory.
Although no formality
Could prove nationality -
the obvious shape
And course left little doubt,
They were Germans.
Direction of their flight,
Suggested their return
From English expedition -
To the East coast -
Message alerts came from
Various Dutch towns.
Their progress was tracked,
Above skies of Netherlands -
Appearing from Westerly
Point - eventually to disappear
Into a southerly direction.
