Mr. Krogh, who was profiled as "Winston" in the article on the Opportuniaty Center in the Dec. 6 Almanac, would like to share a couple of his poems.
In his own words: "Here's two. I hope you dig them as I enjoyed writing 'em"
"wet leaves"
wet leaves
on the sidewalk,
red stars must
have fallen last night-
if I asked the raindrops,
almost falling off the branch,
they show me little rainbows,
a sun rising, and
white broken clouds,
morning glory.

"To the opportunity center if you get 'lucky'"
I guess you've won--
this time has come,
the thrill is so gone,
before anything had begun.
When you said,
"Baby, let's be friends,"
I felt sick 'cuz I knew
all love had flown.
You've got your reasons,
and I've got mine;
my time is too short,
to sit around
and ask why,
the bird has flown
far off into the sky
the thrill was gone,
before it had begun.
