In the Dark
I find myself in the dark.
Can't recognize the landmarks.
I come upon something bright
that alleviates my fright.
This is my attempt at the Welsh form cywydd deuair hirion.

In the Dark
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.

Stage Fright
Stage Fright
The hands hover above the keyboard.
They hesitate to start.
They know the notes by heart,
but are afraid to touch the keys.
The hands hover, waiting for
the mind to let them play.

Ferris Wheel
Ferris Wheel
The Ferris wheel
takes us up
and around.
At peak height,
we see the
entire park
below us.
All the choices
we can make
with the right
number of tickets.
The amusements
appear small,
less threatening.
As we come
back down,
the structures
grow larger,
more intimidating.
We limit are options
as soon as our feet
touch the ground.
Are you an amusement park fan?
