Jamesport, Missouri

Poet-ery in the Cemet-ery:  Sorry for the poor orthography, but April is National Poetry month and rhymes are prime. Call it the result of poetic license. Robert Frost would probably cringe. You can read his words on this headstone. What bravado issues forth as an everlasting memorial to the deceased: "It was a risk I had to take ... and took." [2008]


Have I not walked without
an upward look of caution
under stars that very well
might not have missed me
when they fell?
It was a risk I had to
take...and took.
Robert Frost
