Sophie’s Pouty Poppies
our poppies are wailin’
has the sun gone sailin’?
their petals are drippin’
their stems cannot lift ‘em
they’re sad and be-draggled
their foliage is fraggled
‘tis def’nitely not
a show stopping lot
but we won’t despair
(though it’s just not fair)
we hope next year’s show
won’t be rained out, ya know...

Poppy Pageant
More little red-haired girls
Than we’d hoped for or imagined
It looks just like
A beauty pageant!
Sophie and I, artistic hosses
Are painting their portraits
Till our poppy bosses
Are simply stems
With great hair losses!
We’ve less than a week
To get the job done
We’re hoping for good weather
With plenty of sun!
Next Sophie and I
Will sit idly by
While sunshine and showers
Coax our sunflowers
To burst from their beds
And lift up their heads
Then we’ll paint their faces
To show at exhibits,
And gallery places!

Sophie Says
Hey there BB
What’s the matter
You look sadder
Than I’ve seen you
What can I do
To help you through
This long season, what’s the reason for this blue mood?
Well now, Sophie
It’s this painting
It is heading
For a shredding
I am shirking
Failure’s lurking
Apprehension brings congestion to my working...
Wait a minute
Let’s review it
There is something
Good that’s due it
Its got movement
That’s conducive
To the theme you’ve worked on, finish and include it!
Okay Sophie
I’m supposing
You’re proposing
I keep going
So I’ll suffer
While you buffer
All my fears of failing, now let’s start another!

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’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..
