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
