Except
I like the dark,
The unseen, unknown, the scary,
Except for heights, that you can keep away from me.
I like mystery,
The clues, scenes, the possibilities,
Just not if they lead me to the top of a high rise building.
I like adventure,
Like Camping, kayaking, and hiking,
Just not too close to that cliff's edge, (trembling) I can

11,Ooo Feet
At 11,000 feet, open the door
Right hand, left hand, hold onto the frame
The skies spans forever, the wind does roar

Skydive Suicide
What would you do, if you were told, you're never going to reach old!

Skydive
There’s something to be said for shooting blanks
I get seven free tiles and my mind cranks
The word I choose is “Skydive”
Hoping to return alive
Just one of many wild-eyed pranks
Bucket list items have been on my mind
To lose at Scrabble games, I am resigned
