Where I Am
I didn't go as far
as I had planned.
I thought the wind
would be strong.
I was wrong.
Time to let go
of the plan
and grow where I am.

Where I Am
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.

Brightness Returns
Brightness Returns
Each day is made up
of light and dark.
I think I know when
each will occur.
Then, a storm moves in
and the light is dimmed.
How long will it stay that way?
I'm uncomfortable with the
uncertainty but, so far,
brightness has always returned.

Three-Foot Putt
Three-Foot Putt
One yard.
Hardly any
green between
the ball and
the cup.
Line it up.
You should
make this putt.
Aye, there's
the rub--
expectations.
It's that time of year. Anyone have any golf anecdotes to share?
