Hard Rain
.
Sounds like a frenzied drum solo.
Makes the flowers look like
they have been shellacked.
Drops from the tree leaves
as though the storm has come back.
Pools on the ground and
takes time to sink in.

Hard Rain
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.

Reasons I Love Nature
Reasons I Love Nature
The sun breaking the horizon.
The colors all around.
The birds flying in formation.
The symphony of sounds.
The trees are bare in winter,
but in spring, blooms abound.
The many sights I see
that leave me spellbound.
It's Poem-In-Your-Pocket-Day. Share poetry today.

Side By Side
Side By Side
A duck and a goose
meet up on the lake.
They are different
sizes and colors.
They communicate
with different sounds.
Yet, they can swim
side by side and
move forward together.

The Woodpecker
The Woodpecker
Why doesn't
the woodpecker sing
instead of making holes
in everything?
Why does it settle
for pecking on metal?
As a child, I loved
a cartoon woodpecker.
It made a noise like,
"ha ha ha ha ha."
Now, I feel like
a live one
is in my living room,
and it laughs at me, too.
What sounds do you hear in spring?
