Parachute
My mind is open
It has to be
Yet find myself tangled
In a tree
The wind
It wrestles
The safety line
As I hang with the birds
A silent wind chime
The breeze of emotion
Blows this way and that
The sun on my skin..
Then the rain caveat
My silky voice trembles
I just shouldn't be here
"The fates have designed you
This landing place, dear"
The view is amazing
Every

The Parachute Jump
A quick sketch did the nervous teen etch
a few breaths before the parachute jump
Creased it with sweat, gave it to his girl
who pressed it tightly to her heaving breast
Then shut her eyes, couldn't bear to see
once the

Parachute On the Ground
In skydiving, you jump out a plane from thousands of feet in the air
Headed straight for the ground your only trust and savior is the parachute you’re wearing on your back
Skydiving is the physical representation of being in love
Looking down from the plane as you float higher and higher away from the ground

Santa Used An Emergency Parachute
Twas the night before Christmas
Dressed in my red Santa pajamas.
Tap, Tap, Tap, and a whispered strain;
Santa knocked at my windowpane.
Dressed in a red velvet hat and suit,
Lined in white fur, a black belt and boots.

Parachute
When darkness styled me for a while
He deftly like a surgeon broke the spell
Begin we dropping dangled from a chute
From above we land one step from hell
Remember … You jumped and pulled the ripcord to start the journey

Paratrooper Stu
Plunged to terrain plagued, tasty female options
Surge of adrenalin pulses choices unsuitable
Piquant aroma pulls him closer, allure accosting
Sentient favours solacious flower so beautiful
Hurtled descent drops watchful onto hillock haze
Swayed seed laden willow heads have halos
Hedonistic impulse picks silken stems with craze
Seraphim surround a torn aura in dewy daos
Preordained mistake palates spasmed heartbeat
Shrews

Parachute Goes Up and Down
Children
huddled deep
beneath
parachute,
snicker.
A summer
festive
uplifting
fun game!
They sing, jump
ran round
rosy red.
Quite good
friends gather.
All fall down.

Without a Parachute the Other Flies
Never let your heart win the debate
If your mind has a cogent argument.
They both wander from time to time;
One has a temperament to analyze,
Without a parachute the other flies.

Sky Falling
High above the parade ground
Our four groups of three
Lined up in a helicopter
Hovering over the trees
With parachutes heavy on our backs
The jump master checks for any slack
Chutes tightly packed, closed with twine
Fastened by cord to the static line
No one wants to be the first
Though we all willingly volunteered
After several hours of training
Our first time was

My Invention the Parachute Kite
When I was a young lad
I created things to do
I had an idea when flying my kite
I made a parachute with an Army man attached
I placed a Christmas ornament hook
At the very top of my parachute
I flew my kite way up into the sky
I placed the hook attached to the parachute
I let the string

The Parachute Cloud
The parachute cloud like a rainbow wave,
undulates up and down - a swooshing sound.
The force of a light breeze or a great storm.
Voices lifting and buoyant, glory bound.
Soft lilting lyrics with angelic glow.
The parachute cloud like a rainbow wave
spurs lightning sparks into expectant eyes.
Flood of pleasing screams cajoled to behave.
Holding on, parent’s hands on the

My Parachute Ropes
I move, I move,
My wheels turn like wild things
My hands cry the rims
I run in my dreams
I jump with style
I dance
I move, and dance
My eyes sing like sopranos
My mouth uses color
Like a rainbow
Behind me
I run
I run and I run
The drip lines in my arm
Are parachute ropes
I steer them alone
To land here
I stand
I dream, I
