Park Bench





"Park Bench"
She came everyday
listening
to the sweet song
the blue birds
sang.
She came everyday
watched
blue birds dance.
Tiny sky blue wings
waltzing with the
wind.
The park bench is
empty these days.
The blue birds
still
serenade and
dance
with the wind.
She knows it is
time to return.
To dance
with the
wind.

Solo Exhibition





I'm getting ready for my solo exhibition at Gallery 210 in the Plymouth, Wisconsin at the Center for the Arts.  January 25 - Feb 12. The title of the exhibition is "The Journey"  and it includes works from my Ladders and Fences series.  This piece is called "Pink Diamonds." The exhibition includes both poetry by me and by other Wisconsin Poets. Below is the poem that I wrote that goes with this work.

Pink Diamonds

the sky the all of
every
thing
silver sun moon
stars polished
diamonds
adrift
in the music of silence
you
going
gently
moving
float
float float
ing
in the last days
of moving waters
pink
diamonds
adrift
in the music of

silence

Measuring Imagine

Measuring Imagine

measuring imagine
the artist she
wondering, wonder
wandering
traveling along
fields of wonderful
rivers of tears
skies of silver
mountains of dreams
the artist she
measuring imagine
creates the journey
