Hang On By A String
I don't need much
to hold me up.
A little assistance
and my own persistence.
When life is on one big downswing,
I can hang on by a string.

Hang On By A String
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.

Wash Away
Wash Away
The constant wear takes its toll.
Tilts once mighty poles.
Cracks appear like worry lines.
Widen and make holes.
Rusty nails stick out.
Wash away, old pier. Goodbye.
I'll miss you, no doubt.
This is my attempt at the Spanish form seguidilla.
