Bubble Up
Float above the water.
Go as far as you can.
Whether you reach
the other side
or pop beneath the branches,
I'll remember that I saw you
float above the water.

Bubble Up
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.

Among the Shadows
Among the Shadows
Trees lay down on the ground.
I hop from one to another
without a fall.
Walk on branches
large and small
Then the light changes
and the shadows are gone.

No Games Today
No Games Today
I thought some players
would dribble in,
but time ran out
before they could get here.
I should have known
they would get called for traveling.

Reflections on a Playground
Reflections on a Playground
A place to have fun,
spin, slide, run around.
You can push your friends,
but only when they're on a swing.
And, you can climb,
perhaps, higher than you've ever been.

No Game
No Game
There will be no game today.
The normal horseplay stops cold.
No one wants to risk a slip.
Feel the rip as pain takes hold.
This poem is an Awdl Gywydd.
