At the Museum

The following poem, At the Museum, was published in Orbit Magazine

At The Museum
Dino bones,
Fossil stones,
Stars, Earth,
Planet's birth.
Mountian, sea,
History.
Museum's unlock
Mystery.

Grinning Snowmen

The following poem, Grinning Snowmen, was published in Cricket Magazine

Grinning Snowmen
Old man winter
Takes his time,
Temperatures
Still decline.
Now icicles like dragon’s teeth
and snow plows grumbling down our street
push thoughts of eary spring away
as snowmen grin
sersolved to stay.
