Splash Attack

My wife, Ginnie, had a

hip replacement which gave pause helping

her. In this lull, about my seventy fourth birthday, I began to write.

I found many wells to draw from: My childhood, in the South, with

close family and friends was rich. I enjoyed camping, hunting, and

fishing adventures with by brother, Wilbur, hound dogs and friends.

A graduate engineer, I managed manufacturing in several factories

staffed by smart, hard working people. Active duty; US Army Corps

of Engineers, building airfields in Europe. Bright loving children and

grandchildren. The joy a wonderful wife brings a lucky guy.

The spontaneity of writing has become more demanding as I try to

create exciting, good poems. I hope you enjoy this selection.
