Twenty chute-fed years
Of fiction; pursed, candlelit,
Absorbing fine-print....

There once was a man named Stan
That made a daredevil plan
His skydiving date
The chute opened late
Hungry gators called their clan...

i once knew a girl named sloot

who liked to travel by chute

dropping into a town

she would leave with a frown

due to the horrid commute....

Sliding down in a hurry the chimney chute Santa lost his boot
As return gift cute the damsel gave a sock for frostbitten foot.

Hotshot 
Pilot

Did loop
Oh, poop!

Flamed out
No doubt!

He bailed
Chute failed!

Bad chute
Oh, shoot!

Parachuting has its advantage – Freefall!
Flying, screaming, scareder than ever prior
Chute won’t open!  Now I am coming, gliding
Hope MY chute opens!

If I sit in back and don't see what's coming,
jump from a plane without a chute,
stand in an airlock and evac the air,
fly toward the sun and get too close,
love you and lose me...

The solder was pointed the wrong way
falling scrap metal through the Scrapyard's chute
"Please, be loved," it said,
"this automaton has nothing left for itself,"
resonating equally 'warm'....

Blind Charlie was flying with chute on his back
The pilot inquired about time for the pack
I know when to pull the cord
Once I am pushed overboard
It’s just about time, when the dog’s lead goes slack...

AROMATHERAPY

gray mist percolates
through chute.
lemon oil purifies air.
diffuser loops its mood colors,
as water evaporates,
and i fall
fast asleep,
in wholesome breaths.

Jet engine died

   Pilot hit the silk

      Will the chute save his hide?

The dream to fly high
Scattered puffy clouds below
A goose honks to pass

He cliff dived a lot
No water, the jump was hot
The landing was not

First skydiver fall
Lunch packed, no chute, dropped the ball
That's not good at all!...

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...

Kicks tires
Checks wires

Full stop 
Revs prop

Must heed
Airspeed

Thumbs up
Climbs up

No sweat
(Not yet)

Alas
No gas

In spin
Chagrin

No chute
Oh shoot

Bad day
Mayday

Crashed plane
On plain

Washout
No doubt...

Beans, beans, the musical fruit, the more you eat, the more you toot
Embarrassing and uncontrollable as they come firing down the chute
Actually plays a tune
Remember “Blue Moon”
Cept the color is more brownish as they soil my suit...

recognized her instantly
from his dream work
she had no idea

pursued her until she could stand no more
she dumped him hard as coal goes down a chute

did not find each other for twelve years
she had her own soul dreams by now
they burned the sky up...

carpe diem
live for today
eat that piece of chocolate pie with the whipped cream
swim the length of the English channel
photo-hunt those lions in Kenya
jump out of a 747 without a chute
okay, maybe I went a bit too far
but you get my point right?
carpe diem
live for today!...

In
a dream
I'm
dropping
through the air
tumbling
and
spinning
completely 
out of control
plummeting 
downward
to 
the earth
free falling
wildly
with 
no chute
on.

Umbilical cord, slain
By the silver hands
Of Death-
I grieve in mourning.

Naked babe is left,
To writhe and churn,
On tethered ground,
Cold, so cold.

Mother is gone.
The hum of wings fades,
In Time's net,
Of captured dreams.

And umbilical cord, tossed
Like scraps
To the hungry chute,
Is lost....

I desire to engage in a freefall with my Lord God
As He's the gravitational force propelling my heart
And as I parachute towards this journey called life
May my chute have been packed my Lord Christ
To ensure that I land safe and unharmed
As I  freefall into His awaiting arms
I won't let no outside interference affect my trajectory
For my eyes are focused on my God given destiny...

I have no right to worry
No right to lose my head
The Shepherd’s looking after me.
He sees that I’m well-fed.

I have no right to question
Where the chute I’m in is leading
My companions all surround me.
They must know where we’re heading.

And when I look ahead of me
And see their bodies fall,
I have no right to worry.
I have no rights at all.
