Who is dull of ear
is not oft in fear.

Leaped into the air

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

         take it by leaps and bounds

      Don’t hide from it underground

He defies gravity
He defies energy
He defies the atmosphere
He defies normalcy
He defies trickery
He defies natural disasters
And now for his next trip.
Oops….....

Daredevil Jim always let it be known,
first time succeeding most times is blown,
and his theory is right
for on his first flight …
Jim should have left skydiving alone....

I'm the scriptwriter 
of daredevil dreams, lots
of smiles, a few screams, 
yet if the dream god 
would be so kind, I'd like
to copyright the awesome
screenplays of my mind....

There was a daredevil boy from Spain
 Who wanted to go to the USA by train,
 The train fell into the Ocean, 
 Causing a global commotion,
 So he swam across rather board a plane....

The finest siren
To have tread the fairest acres
At the height of skyscraper
She ascends
autonomous and replete
fashioning the ashes
that compose the minutes
that we have loved and lost...

There once was a distressed Monster Loch Ness
Whose office-at-home was really a mess 
   She'd lost her press clippings
   Midst daredevil flippings
Lost her pj's too ~ so couldn't undress...

People say she is a daredevil,
Angel's grace she has,
Rigidity was in her by birth,
And it doesn't mean that she was heartless 
Daring and dashing actions she performed,
Integrity was her other name,
So she is known as fire
Enseaming the painful past she made herself to live in paradise....

young fearless daredevil surfers appear at costa de prata in the winter
pitting their skills against the colossal waves that break off Praia do Norte
confident they will be the one who survives, they are invincible right?
I stand on this beach, clutching my heart and my throat, danger aware....

Picture this.
Two bobsleds.
Six reckless daredevil cousins
Each one of them hotheaded and determined.
Two giant dead-man-curve ski hills 
That meet at the bottom two hundred feet down.
Loudest craziest, most fun family video ever taken
Grandma’s shouting can be heard over all of their laughter....

Does anyone have an Easter chick?
We have four, a rooster and three hens
Named Junior, nugget, chirpy and twin
These bitties love to snuggle and watch TV
They have taken me for their mom
The rooster likes to be a daredevil
He will run right up to the dog and tempt his fate

The KFC commercials make them cry!...

I returned to my childhood porch
Where I used to jump from the railing
Twenty hundred feet to the ground
I was horrified to see
This porch railing is now less than three feet tall
My daredevil feats at age eight seem less spectacular
Where is the other porch? My grandchildren ask me.
I lie and tell them that porch burned down....

Hello there January 
It has been quite a long time, 
Year? Extraordinary! 
For the most part I am fine

What a crazy past two months!
Hopped on this roller coaster
Filled with wild daredevil stunts;
Each hill I just go faster

The next time that I see you 
So much will be different;
I just know I'll have good news
The future looks so brilliant!...

When she asks about your scar
she doesn't want to hear it's there
because fibroblasts grow quicker
than normal cells and form thick layers.

She wants to hear an exotic story
of daredevil adventure on the final frontier,
and to hear you exclaim modestly,
"It's just a scratch, really!"


Note: Inspired by a story by Allen Pace...

I thought to cross the busy lane
   but cobblestones cause foot pain

As I chance upon a rushing stream
   her current whispers, 'Don't dare dream'

When fragrance beckons from the rose
   angry bees buzz 'round my nose...

While softly falls the swirling snow
   Might I fall? Who would know? ---

And now to secure my tank's door
   Three cheers ~ I'm off to war...

O Vagabond, of fate’s perforce,
On crooked wood, upon your course,
Daredevil of a sea gull ~
How long hast thou been standing there,
To bob on your distorted chair?
Are you, as I, remorseful?

It carries thee from wave to wave;
I quander, is your mount so knave,
To overturn and dunk you?
So trusting thou must have to be ~
To poise atop a churning sea;
‘Tis not a thing that I’d do....

Belligerent bulldog blows up balloons, bulbous and blue.
Frantic frenzied flamingo flips for a flute and a flu.
Persnickety porcupine prances perilous with pooh,
Concerned calico cat coaxes a cardinal’s carnival coo.
Daredevil dolphin diligently designs dalmatian dog’s hairdo.
Serendipitous skunk sashays toward sticky sweet stew.
Lavishly laborious lion lunges into little linguistic loo.
Youngish yak yells and yips at yellow bellied you....

What to do!!
What to do!!
When the recalcitrance of youth
obstreperously plagues my aging,
refuses to allow a separation
between then….and now.

The daredevil of the mind
still seeks to challenge limits
stretch decreasing boundaries
limp at full speed toward a goal.

What to do?
What to do?
When youthful exuberance
overwhelms wizened wisdom
				shouting:
					”GET UP!!’
			  		 “WE GOT THINGS TO DO.”

If she can live any way she wants
She will live dangerously, like a daredevil
Her parents knew this, but did not know
Her role in the circus would be a blind-folded target
While a guy threw knives at her

This is not okay, they told her.
They were shaken up.
It’s fine, she said.
It’s the best gig I have ever had.
And if he hits me I get to throw a knife back.
This makes it better?
It does to me.

Did I mention she was not their smartest child?...
