Alone in the Sky
This is your day!
Go higher or lower,
east or west.
Nothing will impede
your progress.
Take advantage of
this chance to be
alone in the sky.

Alone in the Sky
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.

Chilled
Chilled
When did the warmth disappear?
When we weren't looking.
When did the chill move in?
When it saw the opportunity.

Greet the Day
Greet the Day
I greet the day
with open arms.
Don't know if
I'll run into:
sun or storms,
warmth or cold,
new or old.
I stand with
my head up
and eyes open,
ready to embrace
whatever I meet.

Just in Time
Just in Time
Hands are cold.
Time to go in.
What's the brown
spot in the tree?
Probably a nest,
but better go see.
The hawk faces
away from me.
Do I have time
to get in front of it?
Start taking pictures
now in case it
gets spooked.
Wait. The head
is turning.
Keep coming.
Make eye contact.
Click.
Have you seen something just in time to take a photograph?
