Poet Profile

Norman Crocker

My first career was as an Air Force officer. During the second career I taught economics and business in Iowa.
Twice I had poems selected as poem of the month on the Poetry Soup web site. I have self-published three chap books under the name Thomas Crocker: “Pigs Fly”, “Cats Hunt” and “Beware the Doggerel” (March 2017).

reunion...
old friends pretend
to remember

a legend
in their own minds
politicians

the boss
stalking the street
a tomcat

a tomcat
king of our cul d'sac
whips dogs

frog sings
heron flies
frog dies

three old men
sit in waiting room
alone
