Between Sweetwater and Sand

I have lived on the shoreline of Lake Michigan for many years and watched many changes in the Great Lakes.  The five Great Lakes are the greatest freshwater system in the world.  I have watched the lakes rise and fall, a natural phenomenon, and I have watched many changes season by season and year by year.

Between Sweetwater and Sand  is a book of poems inspired by nature and especially the Great Lakes.

Moon

Big misty bright

slice of sweet melon

a light

in the southwest

a sheen in the lake.

symbol to some.

To me

only the moon—

soon to be occluded

Moon.
