Alone Time
The eagle leaves the others behind
to soar out on its own.
Lands near the top of a tree.
Surveys the park thoroughly,
but stays on its perch.
Nothing entices it
to give up its alone time.

Alone Time
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.

Is It In the Way?
Is It In the Way?
The eagle approaches a tree.
Is it in the way?
It blocks the view beyond it
and possibly below.
But, it offers shade and cover.
Places to sit and gaze
rather than hover.
This day, the eagle flies by.
On another, it will take a seat
and spend some time.

Take Flight
Take Flight
The eagle takes flight.
Does it seek a different view?
Is it time to head home?
Will it grab a meal along the way?

Gifts of Nature

These are a few of the gifts nature gave to me this year. As always, the time you spend on the blog is a great gift. Thank you. Happy Holidays, Merry Christmas and Happy New Year. The next post will be January 4, 2022.
