Sample of the work TBP:

Savannah      Gloria Harrington   You whispered to me inside an arched covering dripping of Spanish Moss which evaded sunshine even on a cloudless day.   We walked, viewing townhouse rows with wrought iron decorations and idyllic steeples of St. John’s Cathedral.   Nearing the church, we went inside. We were greeted with the scent of roses from a recent pageant.   Suddenly, you seized my arm; I had no choice as you dragged me onward. I struggled to break free, but your fingernails dug deeper into my arm.   Agony intensified as yowls of skinny cats And pictures of withered headstones filled my head.   We came close to Mercer House whose historic merit was entwined with a murder but, we don’t stop there.   In the distance, a park with a mythic fountain could be seen where children laughed and played. oblivious to danger.   This gave me strength to nurture a strong response. Next, I grabbed your hand and pulled free! Then, I ran. GLORIA HARRINGTON has been a member of both the Georgia Poetry Association and John’s Creek Poetry Group for over ten years. Her poems have been published seven times in the yearly anthology issue: Reach of Song and she has been published multiple times in Old Mountain Press Anthologies.

High Altitude Parachute Training in Denmark Tom Davis SHORTLY AFTER I graduated from the HALO (High Altitude Low Opening) parachute course in Germany and took over a Special Forces HALO team a tasking came down through U.S. Army Europe (USAREUR), for the Special Forces Group to provide Military Free Fall training for the Danish Jaegerkorps. I would be returning to Augsburg, Denmark. Hey, it was a dirty job but. Somebody had to do it.      When we got to Augsburg and met our Danish students, standing in the group was my old swim buddy, Preven Jorgensen. Preven and I had swum back and forth from one island to the other during a Flintlock exercise a couple of years before. Small world it was.      We jumped from several different aircraft while conducting HALO training for the Danes. I particularly liked jumping from the old McDonnell Douglas C-47. However, most of our jumps were from an MC-130, a C-130 especially modified for Special Operations. Our highest jump was 25,500 feet (almost 5 miles), falling two minutes at 120 MPH with our rucksacks strapped below our parachutes before we pulled our ripcords at 2000 feet. I can remember seeing my shadow racing up at me as I plunged through cloud cover below. Weird.      At the end of the course, the Danes awarded us their parachute badge, and we reciprocated by awarding them ours. We had recently conducted parachute operations with the Germans, and I had been awarded their parachute badge as well. I now had jump wings from four different foreign countries (Vietnam, Cambodia, Germany,  and Denmark). And before I retired I’d added jump wings from Korea and Zaire.      Again, due mostly to Donahue, my team sergeant, the training went exceptionally well. I received a letter of appreciation sent from COL Jensen, commanding officer of the Jaegercorps through the Military Assistance Advisory Group in Denmark, through Seventh Army Europe, and down to our command.      It was the most fun I ever had with my clothes on!! Tom Davis’ publishing credits include Poets Forum, The Carolina Runner, Triathlon Today, Georgia Athlete, The Fayetteville Observer’s Saturday Extra, A Loving Voice Vol. I and II, Special Warfare., and Winston-Salem Writers’ POETRY IN PLAIN SIGHT program for 2013 and 2021.
