Alone in the Sky
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.

A Beautiful Sight
A Beautiful Sight
The time has come
to show your light.
Let your yellow petals
brighten up the night.
What a beautiful sight.
Your flower closes.
Petals crinkle, turn orange.
You sit nearby
when the next light
brightens up the night.
What a beautiful sight.

Shake It Off
Shake It Off
When I don't
like what happened,
I take a lesson
from the heron.
Shake it off
then go on my way.

Sit with Nature

Sit with Nature
I pick my spot.
Let the sun warm me.
Take note of the shadows.
Feel the wind blow.
Watch the waves in the water.
I never pass up a chance
to sit with nature.
