Here is some of my poetry from leisure and class works. Hope you enjoy!
Go On Green
At the edge of the ramp we wait,
staring at the world 13,000 feet below,
so small and insignificant,
we prepare to exit.
Someone screams, Green Light!
We begin the count…
Ready, Set, Skydive!
The hum of terminal velocity
increases as we fall,
Flipping, Soaring, then Kissing.
For 60 seconds we are all alone,
unaware of the world around us.
We strive for happiness
by falling together.
Time to go, out of altitude.
I reach and pull…
the pilot chute soars
and releases my lifeline.
Deployment, I am stood up,
good canopy, sigh.
My heart races.
Addicted, a junkie,
I land craving more.
Adrenaline still pounding
through my veins.
