Full Bloom
The wintry mixes will end.
The snow will melt.
Breath will be heard
but not seen.
The trees will fill with leaves.
The daffodils will open.
Spring will be in full bloom.
It can't happen too soon.

Full Bloom
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.

Melting Point
Walk onto the ice.
All appears smooth and solid.
See the sun sparkle.

The Last Bloom
The Last Bloom
A tiny burst of yellow
stands out against a
green background.
To look at the
lone bloom, one
might think it
flourishes on
a summer day.
Instead, it is
challenged by a
fall chill, on the brink
of being caught
in a hard freeze, looking
strong when it is
most vulnerable.

Handpicked
Handpicked
You opened
with good reason.
Secure in the
warmth of the season.
Then Nature,
with its fickle ways,
dialed back the temperature
to the point at which
you might freeze.
You were handpicked
and brought inside.
Your end
wouldn't come from
the shock of cold.
Instead, you would reside
in comfort
for at least
for at least
a few days longer.
