The middle of May
and flurries! What's this I see?
Dandelion globes:
fine, feathery parachutes
distributed by the wind.

honeysuckle tree
blossoms rain on summers day
yellow parachutes
she grows renegade
her offshoots grow wild too
commandeer the yard
their dresses were parachutes, panties showing
Seventy-year-olds laughing their knees off
Their sisters were two cars behind, persnickety and pinched
In my mind
In my mind
We’re building a castle
In a city of lanterns, parachutes ,
balloons and bubbles in the sky

Wet leaves glisten
on the bough.
Crystal dewdrops drip
down, fall slo-mo,
each parachuting
on a tiny halo
to kiss the damp
grass below!
coiling clouds
like parachutes
on top of the tiny houses
velvet blue dipping
in the snowish white
muddy roads of soily
brown stretching
they didnt know on
the carts before
Form:
,
tiny parachutes
free-falling in the wind...
pink stars at sundown

My family joined a summer outing
So excited for swimming and rafting
Mom got our swim vests with suits
Dad just brought his parachutes
And kept eyes on us, flying and shouting.
It
is good
to learn from
experience-
yet
wise
to glean
from those who
learnt life the hard
way
as
minds,like
parachutes
when open,work
best.
after John Russell's definition
Parachutes are for girls
Soft beautiful things
gowned in silk wings
Curls, linen, lace
Wisteria eyes
Silver snake tongue liars
Asking for wishes
On evening stars
Forgetting
Even stars fall
Something soft to give
Recoil/repulse
Parachutes
Are for girls
Draped in billowing clouds
Of silk linen and lace
I am a storm
Wrapped in black hide
Hides me
Easy to brush off
After a crash landing
A family picnic outing on the lawn,
Granny’s hair like dandelions in sun –
silver filaments, a childhood toy.
A puff of breath, the seedlets fly
the way the morning’s breeze has gone.
Memories wind-borne on the sky.
The capsule burst open
Fuzzy floss spills out
Soft white parachutes
for small seeds that yearn
to float away like dreams

I picked a ripened pod
And split open at its seam,
Hundreds of seeds attached to
Fluffy tufts of hair.
I blew gently and sent a
myriad silken little
parachutes into the air
across the meadow!

Natural Landscape
noontime rain gladdens the heart so,
leaves sway, glisten upon the bough,
as moist crystals drip and fall slo-mo,
each parachuting on a mini-rainbow,
just to smooch the wet, grasses below !
Fairy blossoms
climb through my dreams
cascading over moonlight
and statuesque fountains
purple parachutes
pirouette across the
gloaming
in a twinkle
the laughter of evening
bells
and swirling petticoats
caper through the garden
till dawn
Passion fish and apple dots and gold stamps kissing mountain tops.
Wood deserts and cat tail suits and flowers licking parachutes.
Marble caves and lemonade, I think I'll join the light brigade.
Candle mice are twice as nice as gold fish orange twining.

Poetry is what I’d see
If I could peek inside of me.
It pulses, with a beat sublime,
Converting random thoughts to rhyme.
The words secure me, just like roots
But let me float, like parachutes,
So anytime I write a poem,
No matter where I am, I’m home.
35, 000 above ground
Severe thunderstorms
Imperceptibly conceal amongst
Infinite blue.
Airbus shakes
We both do,
I pray
Not out loud
Ask for another day
Forgiveness
Then Question Injections,
And
Why airplanes don’t
Have giant parachutes.
Birds
Birds should be
up to date with
sky traffic in the
foreign countries they’re visiting. ‘Send to
all nests copies, not ones that’ve
been shortened, parts removed – ASAP,’ one
bird should
spread. Also, injured in
the air birds have had
all the time to
make parachutes.
thoughts like parachutes
open in clouds floating by
colourful strings r..a..i..n
cells dissolve in air
wide parachutes pause pink
red green umbrellas
core is parachute
opens in multi-colour
rainbow becomes K ** I** T ** E
~~~~~~ flyaway ~~~~~~
No Ant
By Franklin Price

No ant
Says I can't
Lift eight
Times my weight
No fly
With its eye
Won't say
I can't spy
No worm
In the ground
Is long
And not round
Not a bird
In the sky
Parachutes
It can fly
What's the point
You might say
Just some thoughts
For the day
last month a thousand
green parachutes opened
colonizing the deepest woods
may apples
you called them
although it was april then
now under every leafy eave
the white globe hangs
suburban as any pourch lamp
lighting,
what little wilderness
is left.
Marvellous
it is to get
lost
in your eyes, in your
touch, in your
mind without
thoughts, without
fears, without
weapons, without
shields
Marvellous
it is to plunge in the
abyss hands
in hands without
parachutes, without
a B plan, without
wings, without
weight
Marvellous
indeed it is to find
you forever
enmeshed with my
soul
