Thin Ice
Sun shines
Air warms
So, the ice begins to weaken
Pieces break off, spots grow thinner
Be careful
not to
fall in
This poem is a trinet.

Thin Ice
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.

I Take My Time
I Take My Time
I take my time.
I make my way.
Stop atop a
sun-warmed rock.
I stay in touch
with what's around.
Birds, fish,
humans, hounds
threat is near,
I hop in the water
and steer clear.

Beaming
Beaming
The light leaves
the shelter of its house
and sweeps the sea,
scans the surface,
shines on the essentials.
The rocks sit to starboard.
The height of the waves increases.
Land is in sight.
The ships head toward
the path of safe passage
and in a flash,
the light is gone.
