from the get-go today
there were no clouds
a slight wind and the
sun was strong all day
if it weren’t for the
heater kicking on you
would think it was
still summer well it
looks like it but I had
to wear a coat to go
out to check the mail
I told myself I was
warm enough but they
say tonight will be the
first freeze of winter
I pray all the pestilence
on our planet will perish
with summer

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.)
