From the Ground Up
Blades of grass
Stems on plants
Leaves on the
bushes and trees.
Green returns from
the ground up.

From the Ground Up
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.

Detached
Detached
Up, down, up. down
The feather stands and
falls with the
strength of the wind.
As part of a wing,
the feather helped
a body soar.
Detached and alone,
it soars no more.

Grounded
Grounded
Fallen feather
tangled in grass.
Wind gust
gives it a lift.
Not enough
to let it fly.

A Peaceful Day
A Peaceful Day
The grass stands
like a soldier
at attention.
Cotton-ball clouds
float in the sky
and boats bob
in wavy water.
The sand sits
undisturbed.
This day,
there is peace.
How long
will it last?

Power Gardener
Power Gardener
I walk behind my
self-propelled lawnmower.
Neaten around the trees
with an electric weed trimmer.
Plug in the hedge trimmer
and shape all the bushes.
Whew, yard work takes
a lot of energy.
Are you settling back in to doing yard work?
