Shelter from the Sun
Stand in the shade.
Keep cool that way.
Don't be afraid
of the dark.
You can still
see the light.

Shelter from the Sun
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.

Shade
Shade
I will give you shade.
Think of it as:
coolness not coldness,
dimness not darkness,
refuge not retreat.
Respite from the
warmth of the sun
when it starts to burn.
