Fall Through the Cracks
Remain vigilant!
These stealth openings
may surprise you
in places like sidewalks,
driveways and streets.
Watch your step.
Don't get careless because
you think you are too big
to fall through the cracks.
That may be true, but
don't forget that they
can make you take
an unplanned trip.
The form of this poem is called: anapodoton.
I am a poet and photographer who likes sports, jazz and art inspired by other art. I served in the U.S. Marine Corps during the early 1970's and was assigned to the Computer Sciences School in Quantico, VA. I have published a chapbook of grief poems, I Keep You with Me. My work also has appeared in publications such as Thorny Locust Magazine, core. zine,The Enigmatist, Veterans' Voices and Kansas Time + Place An Anthology of Heartland Poetry. My visual art pieces combine poetry and photographs, and have been most recently displayed at InterUrban ArtHouse, Johnson County Arts & Heritage Center, Buttonwood Art Space, and The Smalter Gallery.
