Parachuting flakes
Tumble down the windows pane
As drops of water...

On Military Parachuting

In the light of your mortality,
The trials and tribulations of everyday life,
Diminish considerably....

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!...

dandelion tufts 
a flotilla of pappi 
parachuting seeds

Unto freshly morrow doth I arise.
Before I, the glazed forest floor in frore.
Forth multiplying flakes parachuting Steele skies.
Yea, thereupon rigid Winter finds home's door....

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

a
snowflake
while
falling
twirling  
spinning around
thus
parachuting
unto
the
sacred 
ground
thus
uplifting 
the 
call of winter
found
unto
the 
sacred ground
from
the 
icy clouds

Ever jumped out of an airplane, holy crap
Really need a parachute without one it's a handicap
One tends to break stuff
You make a big fuss
Need help to reassemble but end up with some scabs...

Snowflakes slowly parachuting together
                                     In the still of the night
                               On mother nature's military invasion

sparkling sprinkling splashy sizzling serendipity with sass,
practically parachuting, popularity surpassing prime’s overpass
bibbity bobbity boo beyond belief, begetting bionic bass,
making mysterious melody in my mind’s mass...

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 !...

Nature- 
"In all things of nature there is something of the marvelous."  Aristole


I watch them rise on a warm zephyr breeze
like pirouetting ballerinas
spinning and twirling in mid air
in white gossamer tutus. 
Small dandelion clocks
are parachuting
onto the ground -
nature’s way
to spread
seeds

Flying a kite in an electrical storm
      Frying an egg in the desert sand
   Parachuting into a big, red barn
      Pitching a tent in quicksand

   My army training prepared me well
      Stayed calm midst crises, never yelled
   The consummate pro... 'til I babysat five kids one night
      Said, "Go to sleep now, kids," and turned out the lights...

Leaves sway, glisten upon the bough,

        noontime rain gladdens the heart so,

                  silver drops drip and fall slo-mo,

                             each parachuting, floating slow,

                                        haloed by a mini-rainbow,

                                                  down to smooch the wet grass below!...
