Strong Enough
The branch is thin
and appears to be frail.
But, it is strong enough
to support the bird
that sits upon it.

Strong Enough
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.

Green Turns Gold
Green Turns Gold
The green leaves work quietly,
day-after-day, for most of the year.
Only when they turn gold
do the leaves gain the attention
of the masses, who fawn over
them for their beauty but not
their contributions.

The Last Bloom
The Last Bloom
A tiny burst of yellow
stands out against a
green background.
To look at the
lone bloom, one
might think it
flourishes on
a summer day.
Instead, it is
challenged by a
fall chill, on the brink
of being caught
in a hard freeze, looking
strong when it is
most vulnerable.
