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).
Selected Work
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
