I was astounded to find myself teaching paratroopers how to jump.
I honestly have never done this before! I said. My voice sounded whiney.
A plane full of handsome young marines laughed in unison.
The impetuous I needed to wake up. Marines don’t laugh.
Southern Hemisphere
Northern Hemisphere
Like sleeping companions tugging the suns warmth from each other
One hoarding it, one exposed
And leaves quivering like exposed limbs
Until the trees jettison them like paratroopers
Each one swings in the currents chilly
As if held by an oscillating string
A succession of falling pendulums
on a shoestring diet only going around in circles ~ yo yo
inside a huge tornado just somewhere over the rainbow ~ toto
happily oblivious on a corkscrew rollercoaster ~ ho ho
somersaulting off the high board heading for a bellyflop ~ no no
paratroopers landing awkwardly behind enemy lines ~ go go
highly intelligent beings orbit the densest planet ~ so so

"If there ever comes a time
When you forget your dreams
And wonder what there is in life for you to see
And the burden is too heavy for you to float freely
The stars will come to meet you
They will let gravity grab them and become like
paratroopers
Falling to the ground
Blasting holes in your amnesia as they shoot
and making you remember that there are still things
in this life that are worth seeing and experiencing
Even if just for a brief moment"
The Eagle Has LANDED -A TITLE POEM/Free Verse
Theparatroopers safely landed in England,
Eagle were their names in code.
Has not Heinrich Himmler informed us,
Landed in order to kidnap “Sir Winston Churchill”.

TITLE POEM
Take the title of your favorite book (or movie or song) and use each of the words as the beginning of a line.
Paratroopers stealthily slide unnoticed,
chutes deployed, small blazes of white obscured by
fog that lingers lazily, til their numbers
cover the meadow…
Faster, faster, not just content to cover,
reinforcements filling in, words unspoken,
synchronized with perfect precision, ever
picking up tempo…
Occupation utterly overwhelming,
swamped defenses, raising a flag, surrender.
Long, the arm of conquering winter, brings a
lengthening shadow…
