Overwhelmed By It All
Sometimes, I feel
overwhelmed by it all.
Darkness closing in.
Resistance from
every direction.
But, I keep
paddling along
until the light
comes into sight.

Overwhelmed By It All
Sometimes, I feel
overwhelmed by it all.
Darkness closing in.
Resistance from
every direction.
But, I keep
paddling along
until the light
comes into sight.
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 Difference Grows
The newborn ducklings
look alike to me.
Even as they begin grow,
they still look the same.
Then, one day, colors
on some start to change.
The difference grows.
