jimmytavino 16 #838 June 24, 2008 what a fun time huh, Broke??? the poem was one written by a guy named Tim Rogers... maybe in the mid 70's.. it's The Phantom Tenth Man....... I read it I loved it. I decided to memorize it. so i could share it...with fellow skydivers...BUt I won't write it down, that's plagiarism...wanna hear it????come to skyfest 2009!!!!!Now..... I WILL write down a poem which I DID compose, But didn't recite @ skyfest... it's not quite as good,,,, but i like it AND it came from my heart.... ( during a cannabis induced, flash of creativity)it's titled... Just One... There was a voice inside me I'd hear it now and then when days were warm or skies were blue or i was with a friend It started soft, with gentle urges but grew and grew , in leaps and surges 'til from my mouth as if a shout!!! one day I said, or blurted out, "for sure, why not?, it might be fun" " a parachute jump, from a Plane" 'just one" i'd heard about it once or twice and always thought it would be nice to float around, and look way down, check out the ground, not make a sound. well the chance arose, one free Fall day , and some friends and i , we made our way through what it was one had to do, to safely make a jump or two I can tell you now, it was pretty hairy the time was near, my mind unclear and things were looking scarey... what are you doing? Is it safe/ , are you sure!!?? said that little voice inside me. but I reassured myself and said, " I have my head to guide me". "For just this once I'll do this thing and leave a plane in flight, and make some friends, and have some laughs and it'll be over, by tonight." So up I went and Out the door. and to my surprise came back for more. Well it's been a while since that Autumn Day and MANY jumps have gone their way... The early days of aprehension are gone my friend, there is No tension Now jumping's MORE than Lots of Fun and think, it started with, Just One.james joseph tavino circa 1977attached,,,,,, jmy the poet circa 1977 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sletzer 3 #841 June 24, 2008 HERE HERE! Great poem! It's easier to read the one you wrote after having hear you recite the other one at Skyfest. I can honestly say that standing there with a cold beer in my hand after a great day of skydiving and hearing Jimmy recite the poem was the highlight of my trip. He got the whole crowd cheering at some parts, and booing the FAA, and generally having a great time. I've never seen people get that into a poem before. It's almost worth the trip just to hear it again next year! (BTW, I'll definitely be there) Jimmy, it was great meeting you and your wife. You were both a pleasure to talk to. Thanks for the great pictures, and the great skydives!I will be kissing hands and shaking babies all afternoon. Thanks for all your support! *bows* SCS #8251 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Not one mention of the poem I have been reading for 8 years at the end of the ceremony, nothing but raves about yours I guess you have taken one job off my hands, and Bolas; no swooping my poet!

jimmytavino 16 #844 June 24, 2008 Ah ! Lost Prairie... i have heard and read so much about it. i bet it's mystical..but sadly it shall have to remain a wisp of a dream for a time in the future.... it's so far away from us, and i tend to stay away from airline travel... I Like to be able to bring with me,,,many more things than i think i'll need, and so we roll along the highways.. time's not so much the issue as is Petrol.... so thanks and have a Great Time.. NOW if I had such a fine snappy looking motorcycle as you !! bolas..... that might be different...Jumping with everyone was just a blast and thanks Happythoughts for being the Target............ i mean hoop holder... nothing but great exits,, everytime...well organized, it was fun... the pictures are my meager attempts to preserve some fun and electric moments in time... in a way, which will put a smile, on someones face,, when viewed now, and for many years to come... i just push some buttons, click some switches,,,and keep my fingers crossed... the gear, and printers, do the rest... and the pleasure it brings to people is awfully satisfying.....pms requesting a jpeg or two are welcome... anyway... Stay safe..everybody...... see ya' soon. jt Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
