Upside-Down World
The butterfly hangs
under the leaf,
rests even though
its world appears
to be upside down.
I wish I could
do the same.

Upside-Down World
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.

An Upside-Down World
An Upside-Down World
The sky inhabits the water
and fills it with clouds
that look like spilled
paint.
Trees take a place above
that which they
should stand below.
should stand below.
The images start
to disintegrate, but
hold together enough
to disintegrate, but
hold together enough
to remain recognizable.
This is the perfect reflection
of a world turned
of a world turned
upside down.

Upside Down
Upside down,
not just turned around
but inverted.
Head down,
feet off the ground.
Topsy-turvy
Uncertain if I can ever
right myself again.
