A Walk in Winter Woods [Free Verse]

A photograph from the Roswell Greenway Trail in Roswell, Georgia, north of Atlanta.
In Winter,
   when blue sky shows
 between the twiggy,
   bare branches,
 the forest is not so
   claustrophobic,
   but sound and wind,
       alike,
   carry through.

A mind can roam
   between the bracing
      breezes.

Great Blue Heron [Lyric Poem]

Photograph of a Great Blue Heron crossing a pond along the Roswell Greenway Trail in Roswell, Georgia. 
Skittish is the Great Blue Heron.
   It feels when you're stopped and starin'
 and will crisscross water like Charon
   to keep you on the other side.

dense clusters
 of pink flower buds
  brighten the trail.

Stumped [Free Verse]

Photo taken on the Butch Kennedy Hiking Trail near Lake Hartwell in South Carolina. 
A stump in the forest
   is like a gap in a
   wedding party photo
   where they photoshopped
   out a renegade relative,
      but forgot to erase
      the person's loafers.

PROMPT: Without a Computer

Your life without a computer:
what does it look like?

I imagine like it does when I go on long hikes, and have no access to computer or internet. i.e. Mostly blissful with the occasional bleak thought that the world might be ending without one’s awareness.
