An Early Fall
The coneflower cradles the leaf.
The plant has broken the fall
and gives the leaf respite
until the force of the wind
takes it away.

An Early Fall
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.

Alone in a Bright Blue Sky
Alone in a Bright Blue Sky
I saw a cloud
alone in a
bright blue sky.
I wondered how
it would make use
of all the space in
which it could move.
As I watched,
the cloud appeared
to hover over
a group of trees.
I thought I saw
it reach out to
the tallest, even
though it had no
chance to touch it.
