Jump From a Plane

Ternic73

Jump from a plane above the clouds

Fly through the air, night as a shroud

Quietly landing on your feet

Gathering your shoot quietly and quick

Hide everything under brush and sticks

Under the cover of night, enemy patrols

Hide in caves, under brush and in holes

Jump from a plane, parachutes line the sky

One after another, soldiers fly

Battle after Battle, flight after flight

Ready at any time day or night

One by one soldiers walk onto the plane

Hooks on the static line, ready to fly no stress or strain

Ramp begins to close, flight is a go

Taxi starts, take off begins what a show

Engines roar as the plane begins to fly

Higher and higher into the sky

There they are above the clouds

Hiding the plane like a shroud

Jump from a plane

    Thanks TERESA for another excellent poem dedicated to our Veterans. The Parachute Regiments and Assault Paratroop Forces in the UK are some of our bravest Soldiers. They never know (in the service of their Queen & Country) ~ where ~ when ~ how or why they are going to land. Sometimes they are shot dead even before (or just after) they land ~ the supreme sacrifice. Thanks for caring and sharing ~ Hugs BRIAN. Please check my Poem ~ Thanks B

        Paratroopers are indeed a brave lot. They are first in, usually, or the only ones in on certain secretive missions. On landing they are alone, to fend for themselves and to remain unseen. It's a scary business and requires an extraordinary amount of courage. You have done them justice with your poem. Loved it. Keep on writing. - Phil A.

          This is a magnificent poem. I love it! Our veterans should be thanked more. They died so we can live. I appreciate how you dedicated your poems to the veterans.
