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.

 the odd bird flutters
  limb to lonely limb.

The Deeps [Lyric Poem]

Big Creek in Vickery Creek Park, Atlanta.
A jutting rock
   splits the river,
 diverging streams
   never wither,
 but speed around --
   smoothly flowing,
 still gaining speed --
   never slowing,
 until they reach
   the deeps.

 bobbing once in pond water,
  and drift onward.

Fallen leaves on the sidewalk after a rain.
fallen leaves, post-rain:
 gauge the drizzle by 
  what crunch remains.
