Alone in the Sky
This is your day!
Go higher or lower,
east or west.
Nothing will impede
your progress.
Take advantage of
this chance to be
alone in the sky.

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.

Retreat
Retreat
The turtle sits on the stone.
It wants some time on its own.
Retreats into a chill zone.
Recalls places it has known,
the wonders it has been shown.
A goose calls in a harsh tone.
The turtle starts at the sound.
Geese abound, the mood is blown.
The form of this poem is a Cyrch A Chwta.

Somewhere to Call Home
Somewhere to Call Home
The bud is
cut off from
the plant.
Dropped in
a place it has
never known.
Frightened and
on its own.
Wondering if
it will ever find
somewhere
to call home.

Solitude
Solitude
Alone
but not lonely.
Quiet
but not without words.
Still
but able to move the soul.
Do you need alone time? How do you spend it?
