spring is a tease
don’t flatter her please
‘cause she’s such a flirt
in her daffodil skirt
oh some days she’s warm
and sweet, that’s for sure
while other days roar
with cold winds ’n storms
so face it, we’re not friends
and i do wish she’d end
‘cause i’m in the mood
for a summer long June

Sophie’s Spring
Grassy green grass
Prickles and tickles
Sophie’s pink piggies
All wiggly and squiggly
Babbling birdie birds
Chirp quirky birdie words
Buzzing bees fly
By Sophie’s blue eyes
Daffodils gaze
Tulips parade
My poppies sing praise
Springtime, nature’s fling-time
“Neath a shy smiling sun
Nature’s prelude
To the deluge
Of summer days soon to come...

From Here to Eternity
original watercolorportrait: 8" x 10"
remember in school
we learned the rule
that there were cliques
a specialty list
of kids way cool
though we weren’t fools
our own gene pools
just did not rule
we weren’t as blessed
our confidence less
we weren’t sure why
and could not guess
but life has a way
of ev'ning the score
our destiny secure
on eternity's shore

evening oblations
gives solace to me
with new revelations
waiting to be
so lest I forget
the beauty I see
i’ll daily inspect
the views that I get
and paint joyfully
His grand poetry

Even Santa Likes Spring
Sophie and I
Are feeling quite spry
As we welcome back spring
On a robin’s sleek wing
The invitation was sent
Mailed out December tenth
For this special event
By that Santa Clause gent(!)
(Seems he was just tryin’
For pleasant sleigh ridin’.....
Didn’t work out
As cold winds and snow
Were bandying about....)
Now it’s suddenly clear
Spring’s arrival is here
And summer and sunflowers
Are hovering near....

Boots on the Ground
original watercolor boots/onions: 9" x 12"
more from Studio B
yes, the time has come
to get the lead out
and get these things done
we know that they’re small
and quirky, that too
plus, they’re priced to sell
you need one, don’t you??

Sometimes I find
myself much confined
by ideas gone wrong
what took me so long
to finally say
that’s enough now, okay...
but
sometimes it’s fun
to do more than one
‘cause maybe I’ll learn
to slightly discern
the good and the bad
to discount a fad
and find that rare link
that was missing, I think......
