Rhodies
original watercolor rhododendron: 11" x 15"
My windows are open
Cool breezes are flowin’
My curtains are flirtin'
With the sash and the sill
This is the way
An early spring day
Ought always to be
For two months or three
Sounds perfect to me...
Wouldn’t you agree?

Parks'n Rec
original watercolor landscape: 8" x 10"
So
we followed the rulz
like good boys ’n gulz
doubled our masks
and dosed up on vaxx
degermed to compulsion
followed science to exhaustion
and still those cooties
causing covid19
are ruling our days
and all of our ways
we’re not yet allowed
to gather in crowds
those holiday feasts
have simply deceased
and now we’ve been warned
our July Fourth is scorned
no celebratin' please
our past history

original watercolor portrait: 6" x 8"
we’ve got the blues,
Sophie, me too
it’s still too cold
but what can we do
I think we’ll paint
a portrait today
until those blues
they just go away.....

BOH Dude
original watercolor portrait: 8" x 10"
so this is the question
can I toss intention
and renounce all strife
at this stage of life?
could I, if you please,
watch daytime TV
munch crackers and Brie
sip Long Isle Iced Teas
would I, do you see,
be happy with ease??
seems I have this need
to paint every day
in order to stay
away from the grave

SunnyDs
original watercolor sunflowers: 10" x 14"
april’s a tease
don’t flatter her please
‘cause she’s such a flirt
in her yellow-green skirt
oh some days she’s warm
and sweet, that’s for sure
while other days roar
with cold winds galore
let’s face it, my friends
i do wish she’d end
this month of thirty days
please blow yourself away

Bloom Anew
BB says
I hope and pray that soon
BB says
my kindred month of June
Bb says
will hum it’s friendly tune
as it brings summer anew
so my sunflowers can bloom
I will laugh at last
‘cause she’s come back
fair weather in her sack!

Hey DillyDilly
original watercolor dafodils: 9" x 12"
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
and now these girls
with all their curls
look like they'd be
the daffy-ist kids, indeed!

Ranuncul-AYYS
original watercolor ranunculus : 9" x 12"
more red'ngold girls
than we’d hoped for or imagined
it looks just like
a beauty pageant!
my grandie and I, artistic hosses
are painting their portraits
till our perky bosses
are simply long stems
with great petal losses!
we’ve less than a week
to get the job done
we’re hoping for good weather
with plenty of sun!

Dafo-Daze
original watercolor dafodils: 8" x 10"
Haughty
that’s what
my grandie thought
the first time she viewed
our tulips in bloom
‘cause there they all stood
as only they could
with petals held high
reaching up to the sky
now Sophie and I
know daffodils try
to brighten our days
with their friendly ways
not haughty, aloof
their faces, the proof
of good will and cheer
‘cause springtime is here
