The view is not clear.
There is an obstruction.
The details are obscured.
Will I ever see the whole picture again?

Not Clear
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.

Storytelling
Storytelling
What do you
want me to see?
Is it the
look in your eye
or your head
held high?
What about the
touch of blue
that peaks through?
Or, is the direction
you're going
what you are showing?
What do you
want me to see
so I can tell your story?

Silhouette

The outline is complete.
The silhouette is perfect.
Does the feeling remain
when the details are filled in?

Picture Perfect
Picture Perfect
Through the lens,
I see a world I
never saw before.
The beauty of
a single petal.
A leaf that
curls up
on a branch.
The rhythm of
a butterfly's wings.
I see details
I used to pass by,
freeze them in time,
keep them alive.
Do you see life in details or generalities?

I'll be at the Topeka Pride Festival this Sunday, Sept. 27. I'm in Booth #36. Stop by and say Hello.
