Sun and Snow
Sunlight touches snow, white.
Bright, bright, bright!
Sunlight warms snow.
Oh no, no, no!
Sunlight returns the next day.
Snow has gone away.

Sun and Snow
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.

Meant To Be
Meant To Be
I've grown all I can here.
Time to enter a new phase.
Leave the only home I've known.
Settle in a different place.
I need some help to get there,
wherever there may be.
So, I cast my fate to the wind.
Where I land is meant for me.

Uplifting
Uplifting
Do you need a lift?
I'll give you a hand.
Won't let go until
you're able to stand.
Always remember-
reach out to others.
Don't pass up a chance
to help another.

The opposite shore
appears very far away.
Rest is within reach.
