Put the Pieces Together

Put the Pieces Together

Reflect on the
characteristics of each one.
Group some together,
understanding that they
may connect with others, too.
When they fit, celebrate!
If they don't,
keep trying until you
see the complete picture.

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.

Let Go

Let Go

It is hard to let go.

We hold on even

though we know

the parting is

inevitable.

Hang nearby although

we aren't really part

of the whole anymore.

Delay the final separation.

Pieces

Pieces

I have fallen

from the plant,

an entity detached,

no longer part

of that whole.

Yet, I am still

myself--a little faded

but needle sharp.

I lie in dirt

made of bits

worn from the rocks.

We are pieces

put together to

make a new puzzle.

The prompt for this was pieces.
