Dried Plants
Why does the dragon fly
stop on the dried plant?
The bright color is gone.
All that was soft has
become brittle.
What does the dragon fly
see that I can't?
Perhaps, a time when
a stop here was sweeter.

Dried Plants
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.

The Road
The Road
The road has been
narrow, wide,
curved, straight,
uphill, downhill,
slippery, dry,
bumpy, smooth,
congested, clear
and brought me here.

An Imposing Beauty
An Imposing Beauty
Layers of history
build up while time
chips away at the face.
The elements leave scars
and carve decorations.
Through it all, the rock
sits regally, still
yet ever changing.
