POETRY

What is a poem?
Poems are all around you. Just observe, listen, look, feel...
A poem can make you smile - or cry.
It can make you wonder - and it can make you think.

My poem, Seeking Justice, and my photo, are part of the Responding II online exhibition sponsored by the Adirondack Center for Writing and Adirondack Artists Guild. The poem can be viewed here. Follow the links to view the exhibit and photos.

Here are my poetry chapbooks and some anthologies that include poems I have written.

Each day, a gift.
The moon shines bright
though clouds obscure
reflected light.

Each day, a gift.
Some clouds, some sun.
Walk, ski, swim, paddle
all outdoor fun.

Each day, a gift.
My fingers write
stories, poems,
words take flight.

Each day, a gift.
Delicious food!
Cook it up!
It tastes so good.

Each day, a gift.
So much to do!
We cook, we clean
For me, for you.
