October 2015
I am the author of seven poetry books. I have poems featured in numerous worldwide publications , including Prairie Poetry, The Heron’s Nest, Poems Niederngasse, Newtopia, and Barefoot Review. My hobbies are golf, reading whatever book happens to catch my eye, and gardening. I currently reside in Topeka, Kansas.
summer’s end
the skies tell of
summer's end
tonight's moon rises
with autumn's final crop
the blush of youth,
no longer
full
the once lush grass
grown whisker thin
the years take a toll on us
as
it does the ground
wrinkles become
furrows
ditches, drink, and drown
yet we dream of beginnings
long
before the end
thus it has always been
thus it will always be
