The Winter Sun
The winter sun shines bright.
Sits in a clear blue sky.
Lays reflections in the lake.
May even melt some ice.
Don't be taken in
by what you see.
Check the temperature
before you go outside.
The winter sun
can't be trusted.

The Winter 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.

Keep Cool
Keep Cool
It isn't easy to keep cool
when the temperature is hot.
When the temperature is hot,
it isn't easy to keep cool.
The heat builds, sweat begins to pool.
I grab a cloth and start to blot.
When the temperature is hot,
it isn't easy to keep cool.
Distraction might be a good tool.
I guess I will give it a shot.
Think back to a wintery spot.
Snow covers the ground, cold winds rule.
It isn't easy to keep cool
when the temperature is hot.
When the temperature is hot,
it isn't easy to keep cool.
This poem is written in a French form called rondel double.

Fine Lines
Fine Lines
The ice is filled
with fine lines.
They appear when
the temperature rises.
They create a pattern
that catches the eye.
As their spread continues,
the whole area
is compromised.
