Out of Step
Don't know when
to move my feet.
Rhythm section
lost the beat.
Can't get time
to repeat.

Out of Step
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.

Beat
Modern Sonnet
The words won’t flow
in form for me
despite the time
I spend with them
in work and play.
in form for me
despite the time
I spend with them
in work and play.
I try to make
the stress and light
just right and place
the rhymes in lines
like Shakespeare could.
the stress and light
just right and place
the rhymes in lines
like Shakespeare could.
My lines are short.
They lack the rhyme.
Don’t see the light.
The stress remains.
They lack the rhyme.
Don’t see the light.
The stress remains.
Beat-(noun) a metrical or rhythmic stress in poetry or music or the rhythmic effect of these stresses
