Time to Stop
Put on the brakes.
You've earned the chance
to regain your strength.
When you are ready,
you will soar again.
Do what's best for you
until then.

Time to Stop
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.

Time to Play
Time to Play
Take time to play.
It doesn't have to
involve a formal game.
Do whatever you define as fun.
Something that leaves you
feeling better than you did
before you took time to play.

Alone Time
Alone Time
The eagle leaves the others behind
to soar out on its own.
Lands near the top of a tree.
Surveys the park thoroughly,
but stays on its perch.
Nothing entices it
to give up its alone time.

Travel to places that enrich your soul.
This poem is called a monostich.
