Jumping on a trampoline
Falling off could be quite mean!
Jumping up with leaps and bounds
Oh how fun that really sounds!...

No yard complete without a trampoline
Ebullient leaps sloppy and pristine
Gloomy weather turned upbeat
Mesh giving way to bare feet
A vision as sweet as a jellybean...

Trampoline tickle fight
the older girls should have listened
I cried stop
they did not
And yet here I am on the porch
Wet bottom towards the world
begging for forgiveness?...

the fabric
that stretches
beyond the night
you are
the  trampoline
that we
bounce upon
to catch
the fallen
stars
then. upward bound
we go 
you and i 
through this
light...

Listen to poem:

Twisting Twirling Tatiana

Tatiana tried the taunt trampoline,
The Tribune tattler Thadeus touted,
triumphed as the town's tip-top teen,
takes the title, "Tatiana" they shouted.

If I had my own company,
a trampoline one it might be,
and the trademark I think
that would tickle me pink
would be simply this: Jump On Me!

Life
lives on balance
between hope and
the despair...
Between love
and the disappointment ...
Life lives constantly
trampoline of each of us ...
Time is constant too
to mark facts and to scratch
calendars ......

THE FLYING CIRCUS

Autumn branches stretch to yawn…acorns bounce
on a mossy trampoline ~
acrobatic squirrels fly

innate
roots
        of identity,
a circular
            narrative
on a trampoline
              of emotion:
a voyage
          of discovery
of private
              passion
to express
to caress
             to impress
yet...possess..

well being...

Y'all
I am just so d#mn happy to be alive

Trees are green!
The ground smells earthy and warm!
Music exists and it's amazing!

My stomach is full of spaghetti
And I bounced on a trampoline today!

I cannot fully express
Just how much
I have fallen in love with life...

Ghosts on a trampoline jumping with a zing and a zang.
I watch them parading with a clang, clang, clang.
A grotesque goblin greets a gremlin gang.
Beloved belfry bats bang bells with a bang.
It’s a Halloween picnic for Hecliff the Hang.
A monster who talks us all up in a Tenessee twang....

My solice burns my buried heart
I fly through the tinsel clouds
and dare the storm birds to race me swift
and land in the flowing crowds
The earth lets us go and we're off on the wind
(my passionate sea: a trampoline skin to the sun)
I envision the day as I'm floating away
in my airplane imagination......

Listen to poem:

Exuberance bobs, bops and bounces
on a trampoline of joyous elation.
Its riff a catchy refrain
that sticks in the brain,
prods and pokes receptive minds 
into action and reaction.
Like a buoy rocking on waves,
to and fro,
up and down,
side to side,
Just can't sit still,
all aflame and glowing, 
sparking with joyous jubilation....

I have a best friend,
Our friendship never ends

She is trustful to make a bribe
Oh! I forgot to describe!

Let me start,

She is a baby at heart
Contributing brilliant ideas is her art,

Tall and slender,
To jump on trampoline she is eager

She can prove to be a very good companion,
Lives life to fullest,carries no tension....

-brooding centrifical, delirium flight
spiraling downward toward bruising the night
bouncing on sky skin with trampoline hair
shooting like rocket dust into the air
dipping each strand in the hottest of stars
gold tipped and fragrant in Jupiter shards
crushing the bones in the feet of desire
snapping back shoestrings of love ever higher-...

A cool summers eve, waiting in the lawn chair,

The neighbors mowing their lawn, the sound of
an airplane,

Children jumping on the trampoline, with
ice tea in my hand,

Laughter from behind the chair, a spray
of water from the water hose,

I arose quickly to my feet! My back chilled,

and a yell coming from within,

That was cold!!!...

His tuxedo suit was extraordinarily fine
A tom by nature, he could not stay in line
Female pussies went wild over him
Which amused us cousins, for he was our uncle Jim

Why do they like you as much as nip?
He laughed and said maybe it is because I flip?
So saying he gave a couple of jumps on the trampoline 
Landing with the best execution we had ever seen....

*************Note: Life Is A Trampoline***********

      

      It is a fool who
  Puts' ideas' into His
        Own Head
            -And-
Then bounce around
   On an Trampoline

               GF



Morrow: Though life has it's own 
             Ups' and Downs'
             Be prepared......
             For that bounce'
             Before you hit the ground........

One day on the trampoline, my nephew, aiming for the tree,
overshot his leap and jumped as far as the eye can see.
If you squint hard enough
you'll see it in the buff;
a minuscule dot orbiting the galaxy!



NOTE: My nephew Ethan is one of those kids where it's not enough to say he's skinny (if he inhaled enough helium I wonder the possibilities of him floating away)....

Little feet trampoline upon king size bed
laughing and giggling
with happy faces from life still fresh
taking flight with fairy wings
soaring high from pixie dust
hear the dogs barking in joy
as mom and dad hide under the pillows
can't get up for school
can't sleep in on weekends
cherish days of innocence
you are only young once
you become old forever
there is no Never Land....

Jumping, bouncing up down really keen.
Double somersaults on the trampoline.
Enthusiasm loud giggles.
Out doing big brothers errs,
Bouncing higher, higher like jumping bean.

What goes up,  must come straight down. What the hack!
Double flip, lull …. plop, flop, flat on their back.
Turns head over heels in air
Landing on their feet with flair.
This's the upright way you do it with knack.
