Where's the poem?






Become a puppeteer and dangle observations on nature’s stage. Eavesdrop on human nature and add emotion. 


Search for surprises and how the man-made world and nature co-exist or conflict. 

A reciprocity develops with personal ideas and philosophy danced upon the outside world and then pulled back inside.

Where does a poem come from? It glistens at the crossroads of preparation and possibility, muscled from writing practice to the moment observed.






If it’s hiding
search for it
in a spider’s dream
or web of twilight.
You might find one
in lemony shadows
that attach to ladybugs
who sway near eucalyptus.
Consider it
in the moon’s crackle
blinking past pines.

Discover moments
before stars sprinkle
dusk with a promise


of what we most need.





Do you notice an elephant emerging from the rocks?






Where might the osprey take your creativity?









Search for a poem. 

Dig into nature and look under a few rocks.
