Hold On To Hope
Hold on to hope
One way to cope
I stay afloat
without a boat
Keep my eyes on
the horizon
This poem is a cywydd deuair fyrion, a Welsh couplet form.

Hold On To Hope
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.

The Last Day of Vacation
The Last Day of Vacation
I take one more
stroll by the shore.
Breathe in sea air.
Watch the sun dance
on the water.
Let my eyes scan
the horizon.
Listen to waves
as they roll in.
The time has come
for me to turn
and walk away.
At that moment,
I am jealous
of those who are
able to stay.

On the Horizon
On the Horizon
There is something on
the way.
What it is, I cannot
say.
Nothing will keep it
at bay.
It may even come
today.
It could bring joy or
dismay,
but I will not run away.
