Above the Rest
Some rocks sit
above the rest.
They were carried up
and set in place.
Their elevated position
is unstable.
The downward roll
is only a bump away.

Above the Rest
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.

Downhill
Downhill
The wind gust
picks up the leaves.
They go downhill.
It won't be a breeze, but,
with a change of direction,
they will get back up.

Rhythms of Life
This is another poem about life's ups and downs with a touch of a music analogy thrown in.
Rhythms of Life
Bashful or boasting
Careful or crashing
Grateful or grieving
Joyful or jarring
Peaceful or pounding
Soulful or shocking
All you can do
is keep moving
to the beat.
