I write to share impressions, ideas and stories. I write poetry because I love the music of language, the cadencies of blank verse and the satisfaction of happy couplets. In this collection you will meet Lottie Wheat, my great-grandmother; my grandparents; people; pets (dog, cat and praying mantis); observations on nature; and many memories that make me ask "What is a human being for?"

THE FOOL OF DISDAIN
The light disdains the dark
The front of the coin the back
Mountains disdain the valley
White disdains the black
Day disdains the night — yes the no
Sound disdains the silence — high the low
Here/there — then/now — I/thou
Like sides of a ball
Together we roll
A collection of musings about an assortment of subjects in verse and essay form.
Several of the pieces in this little book examine love, memory and violence, from the banal to the deadly; and the paradox of people who believe they are entitled to win but deep-down don’t believe they are good enough to win fairly. Available at Amazon.com
