Gifts in the Garden
Flowers that grow
and colors they display.
Pollinators that fly in
and their valuable
work.
Birds of different feathers
and the songs they sing.
Gifts in the garden
I may receive any day.

Gifts in the Garden
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.

An Apology to Flies
An Apology to Flies
I have always
thought of you
as picnic-crashers
and nuisances.
When I saw
two of you
sitting on my
daylily, I
wondered what
brought you there.
Did you serve
a purpose?
I didn't know
so I did
some research
and found out
that you are
pollinators
for some flowers.
I am sorry
I misjudged you.
Next time I
see you at
a picnic,
maybe we can
split a hotdog.
