Look Closely
Look closely at all
there is to see.
Not the field, but
each blade of grass
and the way it stands.
Not the flower, but
each of its petals
and how it unfolds.
Not the butterfly, but
its wings and how
the two sides differ.
Look closely, as though this
will be your only opportunity.

I am a poet and photographer who likes sports, jazz and art inspired by other art. I served in the U.S. Marine Corps during the early 1970's and was assigned to the Computer Sciences School in Quantico, VA. I have published a chapbook of grief poems, I Keep You with Me. My work also has appeared in publications such as Thorny Locust Magazine, core. zine,The Enigmatist, Veterans' Voices and Kansas Time + Place An Anthology of Heartland Poetry. My visual art pieces combine poetry and photographs, and have been most recently displayed at InterUrban ArtHouse, Johnson County Arts & Heritage Center, Buttonwood Art Space, and The Smalter Gallery.
