Shake It Off
When I don't
like what happened,
I take a lesson
from the heron.
Shake it off
then go on my way.

Shake It Off
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.

Keep Your Head Up
Keep Your Head Up
It's a new day.
There's no telling
what might come your way.
behind the next door.
Be open to it.

You Can
You Can
What are you waiting for?
Do you expect to get carried away?
Make a move.
The path may be rocky,
but others have taken it.
You can too!

Swim Away
Swim Away
Swim away from the past.
Swim away from it fast.
Don't reflect anymore.
Leave it all on the shore.
