Take Flight

During David Belle’s birthday weekend Take Flight had a Tee Shirt giveaway. We asked our fans to write an acrostic poem with David Belle’s name; meaning each line starts with a letter from his name. Well, you fans did not disappoint! There were some entries that were just too good to let them get lost on the Take Flight Facebook wall. So we compiled a few of our favorites for our faithful blog readers.

Dream for the skies, and
Aim for the eyes.
Vast is the mind,
Is David’s stride, which
Darest thee to fly. It says,

“But be but thine own,
Err but keep going.
Leap for the stars
Learn from thy falls, and
Ever move forward.”
– By – Gavyn Westmoreland

David belle.
A traceur
Very deeply fell
In love with a place here
Decides to tell

By action not words
Every place on the planet
Lays not multiple countries
Lays one single playground
Every place united with a motion
– By – Paul Tong

Danger?
Act.
Violence?
Invision Peace.
Duty?

Balance.
Envy?
Love.
Laziness?
Energy.

David’s spreading of Parkour
Allows us to
View our surroundings
In a better light,
Daring to fly.

Bearing us on its wings,
Enticing us with movement,
Leaping, grabbing, vaulting
Lending us strength to live free
Extending to us life, Parkour.
– By – Sai Chikine

Dare to move above and beyond
Always aware of life the right and the wrong.
Valiancy seen through movement of efficiency
Instilling in the world an amazing new philosophy.
Daily training to be strong

But confronted with obstacles only you can overcome.
Exceptional beauty in such a fine art to
Leave no trace where ever you are.
Live life to its fullest with the body you’re blessed with for
Expression of movement is what he’s found love in and shared it with us so that we could enjoy it.

Defying Gravity
Around the town
Venturing the urban landscape
In total control of mind and body
Dance like motions, observers watch

Baffled by the display and range of motion
Energetically he performs
Leaping gaps
Lacking fear
Engaging life
– By – Niko Pal

Dynamic and daring movements
As the legend himself
Vaults over any obstacle
In his path
Diving into a lazy superman but

Boasting really isn’t his style. the
Environment around him is his canvas
Laying out and planning his masterpiece run, a
Lache followed by flips and twists, the possibilities so
Endless as the boundaries are pushed and broken by a mere man.
