Newest Poems



January Morning at Smith Mountain Lake

Once in a while, when the mood strikes me, I write poetry.  That and playing musical instruments for my own amusement and amazement (I'm amused by the sounds that I make, and amazed when I get the fingerings right) keep me sane.  Anyway, here are two of my latest poems. Hope you enjoy.


Yellow

In a green forest
The first yellow leaf
Of autumn
     Silently . . .
          Falls . . .
To the ground.

Night

Well oiled,
Night
Got off,
To a rusty start.
