Dancers in the
are put there by the sun.
Remain still until
the wind makes waves.
Then, tree trunks wiggle.
Turn into squiggles.
Branches follow suit.
The dance continues
until the sun
makes a move.

Dancers in the Lake
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.

Dance Haiku
Trees dance in the storm.
With the wind as bandleader,
the rhythm comes in gusts.
In recognition of International Haiku Poetry Day yesterday, I wrote a haiku for the prompt--dance.

Dance
Dance
Petals uncurl
Stretch to their
longest length
Reach their
widest width
Turn toward
the sun
Bend in
the rain
Lift with
the wind
Dance to
celebrate
their openness
Which of your flowers are celebrating their openness?
