airborne47 0 #1 October 8, 2009 Hi all I'm Don i'm new to computers and have been reading these forums for a bit now. Yesterday i got someone to help me post a poem in Blue Skies. So i thought i would attempt to post on my own (hope it works!) Anyhow i just wanted to say hi and how much i miss all you crazy people! I drove truck over the road so had the chance to jump all over the country. I got to meet some great people and made a few boogies. But i got burnt out not having a home drop zone and always being the new guy. So i gave it up intending to come back some day when i quit drivivng. Now i'm back home and struggeling to pay the bills with this econamy. But i still want to get back in the air and hang out with people i can relate to. (Hopefully next summer) Until then i'll keep reading these forums and looking at the sky with desire. I'm going to try and attach some of my skydiving poems. (hope it works and someone likes them) Blue Skies!!! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

airborne47 0 #3 October 8, 2009 Thanks shymama! It will happen someday! But until then i will miss it! I hope you get a chance to read my poems. There's some that are sad but others are good and happy. I write about life experiences good and bad and write it as i feel it. (Not always P.C.) Don Blue skies!

robskydiv 0 #4 October 9, 2009 Welcome Don. I'm somewhat in the same boat, but will be jumping within a year with a new jumpsuit, canopy and helmet. Where are you now? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

captain1976 0 #6 October 11, 2009 Hi Don, Many of us are feeling the pinch of the recession. I'm a writer myself but am not qualified to honestly critique poetry (probably 'cause its above my intellect). Best wishes and hope you get back in the air soon. Blue Skies when you canYou live more in the few minutes of skydiving than many people live in their lifetime Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
airborne47 0 #7 October 11, 2009 Yeah i guess i'm lucky to at least be woking. As far as critiqueing goes it's simple either you like it or you don't Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
