One falls near the plant.
I hope it grows there.
Others ride the wind out of the yard.
Their destination is unknown.
Some hold on to the only home they've had.

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.
Gray clouds move in.
The lake darkens.
I am distressed that
the sun is hidden.
Relief comes when it appears
enough to add light to the dark.
