Poetry & Verse

I'm not sure I think of myself as "a poet," but perhaps this frees up my creative energies because that nasty editor on my shoulder isn't really paying close attention!






Haiku

These pieces won special mention at the Arizona Matsuri Foundation in 2014.

    A White Mountain Elk                                                                       Badge hidden by lapel
bugles in a midnight meadow                                                           rustler's campfire crackles
      city camper wakes                                                                           justice in billowing smoke
