Wait for the Warm Air

Wait for the Warm Air

Where there once was water,

there is now ice.

The lake is cold and hard.

Geese are denied

the chance to swim, but

gather here anyway.

Instinct tells them to

wait for the warm air, and

the water will flow again.

Academy of American Poets Poem-A-Day

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.

Look to the Light

Look to the Light

When the light

seems blocked,

it finds a way

to come through.

Shows us

an opening and

gives us a glimpse

of what lies on

the other side

of the darkness.

When the Light is Blocked

When the Light is Blocked

When the light is blocked,

a shadow is cast.

We don't know how

long it will last.

Remember, the light is there,

working its way past

the obstruction.
