Practice Vigilance
The path looks clear
from here to there.
The distance isn't long.
The journey seems easy,
but don't forget
that storms may form.

Practice Vigilance
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.

You Can
You Can
What are you waiting for?
Do you expect to get carried away?
Make a move.
The path may be rocky,
but others have taken it.
You can too!

Different Paths
Different Paths
There are many paths.
Some end after a few steps.
Others let you roam before
they force you to backtrack.
Leave you concerned about
which way to turn.
Don't give up.
Try different paths until
you navigate the maze.

Trails We Leave
Trails We Leave
The trails we leave leave
directions that others may choose. Choose
to start out the same way. Weigh
other options that come along, along
paths that curve, curve.
This form is called echo verse.

Pathfinder
How do we get to where we are?
Are we led to the water to drink?
Are the steps controlled by what we think?
Do we wish upon a star?
Will that get us very far?
Do we aspire to be like someone else?
Does that help us find ourselves?
Does it matter what we do?
Is everything planned for me and you?
How do we get to where we are and
where do we go next?
Thanks to Janice Sheridan for this week's Wordsmith Studio Creative Prompt-Freedom. Do you believe in destiny? Do we control our own fate? How have you found your way?
