A is for Annabelle
and for addition
B is for BB
who’s newest submission
is C for cousin
'cause now there are two!
D is for delight
and double, too
who would have guessed
my boys having girls
so yes, I’m twice blessed
“What a Wonderful World”

Anarchy!
Sophie says
You’re not the boss of me!
Sophie says
you’ve got to let me be!
I want this thing
and that thing’s mine too
there is so much
that I want to do
I know it’s yours
and it just might break
it’s on the floor
so it’s mine to take!
I need to climb
though I’m scared to fall
those steps are high
but I’ll try them all
stay by my side
I need to be safe
please hold my hand
while I take my stand!

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

you cannot be chicken
if you do some paintin’
unless you are thinkin’
you’d like a good lickin’
‘cause just when that paint
does wondrous fresh stuff
your brain turns to mush
and you muck it all up

Practice makes better
But perfect?
Not ever...
Especially if painting
Is what you can do
You’ll prob’ly improve
But that’s questionable, too
My advice to you
Buy a Bertie Brown or two!

Harmo-nious Perso-nious
went out for a run
this very fine day
had lots to be done
stuff that gets in the way
of some fun in the sun
but nature’s libretto
called out ceremo-nious
in pleasing vibrato
a sound tremolo-nious
twas something I sought to
experience in perso-nious
and when I got done
on this very fine day
from my run in the sun
I was all tuned up and completely harmo-nious

Pastor Mike
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 lattes 'n tea
would i, do you see,
be happy with ease??
seems i have this need
and create-tivity
to paint day by day
thie stuff that i see

Play Away
it’s really okay
to chill out and play
we all know we should
(that is understood)
but still we forget
and totally get
ourselves in fun debt
we think if we could
buy us some fun
at Mitchell's we would
feel wonderf’ly good

Play Away
it’s really okay
to chill out and play
we all know we should
(that is understood)
but still we forget
and totally get
ourselves in fun debt
we think if we could
buy us some fun
then surely we would
feel wonderf’ly good

Mama-san
original watercolor VietNam Mama: 8" x 10"
this world’s a porcupine
all sharp quills, sticking out
prickly, defensive
voices raised in angry shouts
no generosity
nor compromise
just hyper right-eousity
we're crumbling from the inside -
gotta push the hatred out……..

BecomingBob
original watercolor Bob R.: 8" x 10"
there could be misconceptions
some slight depth perceptions
a misappropriation
with no negotiation
i will not enhance
renounce at a glance
embellish or squellish
not even a chance
it just filled a day
in the neighborhood i’d say
so onward i press
in search of success…

May your Christmas Bells
be shiny and bright
with melodies light
and harmonies tight
May each Christmas gift
remind you of this
The Babe in the stall
Is The Lord of us all...

just keep tryin’, you say
so that’s what I do
not cease and desist
that’s never the way...
to break through the fray
you gotta hang tough
and paint every day
talent’s just not enough

Clari-fied
original watercolor clarinet player: 8" x 10"
Well
the music said “rest”
so the woodwinds obeyed
they rested their best
and quietly laid
their reeds
and their keys
right down
with no frown
then I got my stuff
my paints, pan and brush
turned on my i-tunes
and worked until dusk
now when I was done
I took just one quick
lollipop lick
then settled to munch
a black licorice whip!
