to get the job done

in the beginning
we all loved the sun
we couldn’t get enough
we were never quite “done”
our faces were bronzed
our hair sun-streaked gold
our innocence reigned
we’d never grow old
but time has a way
a mean streak, I’d say,
of hastening the days
that youth does betray
so now that we’re old
or older, to wit,
we’re gonna wise up
and use sunscreen, just a bit...

Poppies
Curvaceous long legs
Popping up from their beds
With ruffled petticoats flouncing
Such perky orange heads!
They do the Pizzicato Polka
It’s the right dance for them
As they twirl and spin around
On those long and curvy stems!

POPPY!
Morning light
Sunshine bright
My first Poppy
This spring in sight!
Orange lace
Pretty face
Gazing high
To friendly skies
On one long leg
It pops about
Calling her ‘buds’
To come on out!

Sophie and I
are questioning this
could May ever be
more perfect.... what bliss!
with cool linen days
sun dried, whitened bright
and navy blue nights
glitter sprinkled, twinkling lights
‘though we do love summer’s song
when those H’s* come on strong
we might be just a bit
distressed over it....

Orange Blaze Poppy Craze!
Sophie and I are ecstatic and delighted
We’ve made a discovery
And we’re so excited
Our poppies are budding
Poking up from their beds
With fuzzy green heads
And we just can’t wait
For a plein air painting date
When they pop out of their skins
And we settle in
For a quick painting session
As we compose our impressions...
Petticoats dancing
Leggy stems prancing
Blue centers waving
Orange petals blazing.....
We’ve gotta be greedy
With our time and be speedy
Cause Poppies just last
‘Bout a day and a half!

Poppy Paradise
original watercolor poppies: 13" x 20"
oh my girls
with their curls
gossip all the day long
giggles here
sniggles there
oh the secrets they share
“she’s a lush”
then they blush
oh it’s all so unjust
when it comes
to their chums
they tell all and then some
so I must
paint and just
let them gab without fuss
it’s in jest
I just bet
though I’ve got no proof yet...

And the poppy said
to her buddies in the bed
why can’t we simply try
to lay our views aside
let’s get along today
‘cause that’s the better way
to live in peace and harmony
will benefit us all, you see
