rain clouds hang in the
air making you think it
might rain
the local black and
white cat hides behind
the elm tree out my
window
the cat goes rigid but
whatever it was must
be gone because
the cat lifts and licks a
paw and when I looked
back the cat was gone
the sun made a dull
attempt to push through
barely making shadows
even so
rain clouds hang in the
air making you think it
might rain

I dreamed of writing during my teenage and college years, but my plans were put on hold in 1965 when I entered the Army. Somehow, a four year enlistment into the Army Security Agency turned into a career! While serving in the Army, my writing skills were honed in assignment after fascinating assignment, e.g., language analyst, basic training drill sergeant, small unit tactics (Cavalry) instructor, Pershing operations sergeant, to name a few. I served as a Vietnamese, Cambodian, and German linguist with tours in Vietnam, Thailand, and Germany. Over twenty years later, I retired from the military and continued to write full time for industry and the private sector.
I have returned to the passion of my youth to write the thoughts of my heart in excellent poetry and fiction. (See the Short Bio page for more backstory.)
