If the Clouds had Eyes
they would take in nature's beauty.
Birds fly high and dip their wings.
Flowers wave in the wind.
The land, the sea and the sky hypnotize.
Then, nature's brutal side appears.
Floods submerge the lands.
Tornados take down towns.
Fires burn the forests.
If the clouds had eyes, they would cry.
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.
