Dear Friends,

I have gathered a selection of my poetry from the last twenty-five years into a book called THE SEASONS. (You can preview or order the book here.)

I am grateful to everyone who has read and responded to the poems over the years. I will continue posting my new work here and in twenty-five years (or less) I will have book number two ready for you.

Warmly,

Kevin











Dark Winter Day








There is no stillness.

Perhaps later.

Snow hangs in the air.

My child leaps off the steps

into the world.

The trees are bemused,

maybe frightened.

Some of them. 


Old cars wait

in the street

with unshakable loyalty.

My child and I thank them.

We become snow for a bit.


Time hides under 

the leaves 

on the ground.

A brown blanket

at the beginning of snow.

Also high

above the house

where golden threads 

circle in a 

giant ring.

The gift economy . . .
from Wiki - In anthropology and the social sciences, a gift economy is a mode of exchange where valuable goods and services are regularly given without any explicit agreement for immediate or future rewards. Ideally, voluntary and recurring gift exchange circulates and redistributes wealth throughout a community, and serves to build societal ties and obligations.
