Carried Away
I stand in the shadows.
Look into space.
My mind carries me away
though I stay in the same place.

Carried Away
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 Lake
The Lake
The lake provides a peace I don't often find.
I fall into its rhythm without a thought.
The movement relaxes me and clears my mind.
It frees me from all of the worries I brought.
I watch the waves and the way they are aligned.
They roll in and bring me the answers I sought.
This poetic form is strambotto.
