Unmasked
I put on my mask
to hide feelings
I don't want
anyone to know.
I spend the rest
of the day worrying
that they might show.
How long will it be
until I am unmasked?

Unmasked
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.

Camouflage
Camouflage
Branches hang, hiding the rock.
Underbrush grows up.
They make the stone hard to see,
obscured by the leaves.
Joy turns to pain when
those who rush toward the brush
hit a wall instead.
This poem is written in a Spanish form, Seguidilla, which sets parameters for number of lines, line length and rhyme scheme.
