We Watch You Grow
First, a neck that can extend.
Then, the body gets longer.
Soon your feathers
will look like ours.
Then, you will have a chance
to reach for the sky.

We Watch You Grow
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.

Your World
Your World
Look around.
This is your world.
Walk through the grass.
Take a taste test.
Go into the water.
You already know
how to swim and dive.
It will take a little time,
but soon you will fly.

You
You
teach me all
I need to know.
How to swim and
dive and fly.
That not all in
nature is my friend
and what I should do
when I meet up with them.
For now, I stay close by.
But, you teach me all
I need to know
and then I'll go.

In You
In You
In you, I see what
I will grow into.
The way I will live.
The skills I'll use
to care for myself
and for others.
In you, I see
all I hope to be.

Watch What I Do
Watch What I Do
Watch what I do.
Follow my lead.
I'll show all I know.
Give you a good start.
You'll take the lead.
Make your own way.
I'll watch what you do.
Ready if you need me.
