... black eyed susans grow wild
... farther down / a small bird ... safe on rusting barbed wire
Written with Cletis L Stump
My friend, Cletis Stump, who introduced me to micro-poetry and whose poems I've featured here in the past, passed on a few days ago. He had been struggling with health issues for some time. I've not posted some of our collaborations, so to honor his memory and our friendship I'd like to post a few of them over the next several days. This is the first of them.

Losing a friend always is hard. I'll look forward to remembering Cletis through the poetry you wrote together.
