Premium MemberI Used To Be A Jumper In My Doc Marten Boots

I used to jump from aeroplanes
Naked
With nothing
But a parachute
A prayer
And a pair of Doc Marten boots

I've landed in some strange places
Once in a chair
Once or twice in the mud
A Woman once
I said will you?
She said no!
But she meant yes
I guess?
One time I fell through a roof
And landed in someone's bed!
The husband wasn't very pleased
I can't

Premium MemberTo everything there is a season

The moonbroch is quite pronounced tonight—rain can’t be far off. It will be good for the vegetable garden and save my back from having to cart water for a few days. Not too much rain, though, as the skins of the tomatoes would split; they are about to be harvested ...

Premium MemberPuddle Jumper

I must be getting older now;
not always fond of walking in the rain.
I used to love to puddle jump;
only my youngest knew me not insane.
In pouring rain, we’d run the trails,
find all the largest water spots to stomp.
We’d giggle when we spied a hole,
and race to see who’d be the first to romp.
These days, I

Premium MemberShall I Make You a Jumper

The tartan plaids are passé’, the new young hip fabric designer said.
She brought out the bolts of her new fall line and I gasped with joy.
I had never seen such beauty on a plain brown background of wool.
I reached to stroke the material, loving the oranges, pinks and yellows.
This is so gorgeous! I told her.

The Jumper

On a twelve inch ledge
On the twenty-seventh floor
He tried to sort out his life.

From his high school days
Through his college days
To the woman he called his wife.

His dreams had been many
But his prospects were few,
Life was at best second rate,

His dreams died away
As his prospects grew worse,
He resigned himself to his fate.

A crowd gathered round
To

Premium MemberI Am a Listener and a Jumper

Leftie I was and leftie I be.
I never watch stupidity on reality TV
Except Married at First Sight
Which gives me delight
I am a hippie, a gypsy, a faerie, I flee….
From those who have absolute ideas, for they frighten me.

My ideas are flexible,
I am a listener, and a jumper.
I jump from this to that easily, 
Fearful of

Jumper

i take a deep breath
bliss as i jump off a high ledge

im flying 
im floating

falling through the air
angels try to catch me by my hair
i look like a dolly falling from the air

you don't really know me
but i've finally jumped
im free

Premium MemberA Lump In My Jumper

A very sexy lady once took me aside
Patted me on my enormous backside
Said, lose some pounds
And we'll go a few rounds
But the lump in my jumper committed suicide

Not the Reverse Long Jumper

There's no one else
not even myself
creep love
into sunlight
as hate watches it leave
Spoon feed hope
on hunger strike
knowing he can't
have long
Selling souls
to belong
Take these words
Thee sword
With E seed
contort
Always short of short
Follow without support
A rap with a port
or are you under
standing underneath the feet
of giants
wearing Hatters cap
Cheshire on my lap
sipping on an app

Premium MemberSpiraling Down Into the Garden Dismembered Paratroop Jumper

Plummeting down rascally Falls
Cowering tumbling forward swirls
Down falling down falling down 
Powering Crescent trapped in the spiral graphic flaws 
Falling plummeting down falling 
Falling to the ground
I am forward bound 
Caution yet read 
By the following cut sounds 
Sounds of the sparring Robins Twittering sparrows chirps
He's fallen
He's fallen and he can't get up
 All Fall

911 the nightmare and now more people!
Jumping out of a burning building in Bangladesh 29/03/19

OK lets go jumpers !
 
Lazy just another day at work

Premium MemberA Jumper of Love - Thank You Jean

What do I say to this
How to find words?
I don't have them, 
nor do I have rhyme
It all eludes me
suddenly

Sometimes a friend
enters your heart
with so much force
that all locked doors
and closed windows
Swing open
And let sunshine in

Jean, I cannot express
what this means to me
I wish I could show
you my face right now
But I cannot.
But can I

Jumper

Judiciously I pick
just the right colours.
Judging by the size of
Jeanie my cute grandchild.
Joy to knit for her in
January chills a
jumper warm as this one.

Put On a Jumper and Then Clap

A long sleeved sweater is far more applicable than a cardigan in a heat wave located in the bathroom. But falling snowflakes from showerheads is an uneven crust upon tiles. See now the little flea jumping around in that mud arch. It is very clever. And chats incessantly about the state of foreign affairs, the
