Pop*ular Girlz
original watercolor poppies: 10" x 15"
Sophie and I
in spring season mode
are sitting beside
our poppy abode
a garden, of course
where we plan to stay
with no great remorse
for past cooler days
‘cause we’ve got our paints
our brushes and such
our sun hats in place
and poppies a bunch!
so here’s where we’ll be
come sun or a storm
we’ll work happily
thru this sunny morn

Poppy Crop
Remember in school
we learned the rule
that there were cliques
a specialty list
of kids way cool
though we were no 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 my girls
with orange curls
just know they’d be
the pop-ular kids, indeed!

PoppyCrop
original watercolor poppies: 10" x 10"
my poppy crop
is decidedly not
happy ‘bout all
this rain that we’ve got
they’re bending right down
their heads to the ground
praying I s’pose
for a break in the clouds
and i have to say,
this just happens way
too much i declare
on many spring days
so let’s have detent
for my perky lot
rain, simply decease
desist and please STOP!

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

Petunia
original watercolor portrati:8" x 10"
the grandies 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 can find fault in this
‘though we’d never throw a fit...

Quints' Jam
original watercolor woodwind quintet: 10" x 15"
the woodwind quintet
is surprised and upset
that a brass french horn-et
is allowed on their set
while the woodwinds complained
the french horn explained
that his rich rounded sound
kept the woodwinds anchored down
so they threw up their hands
made a quick change of plans
and that’s how it began
for the woodwind “Quints Jam”!

The WindyCity
original watercolor instruments: 10" x 15"
we’ve got the blues
that’s certainly true
but we’ve also got
‘magination, a lot!
so natur-ally
these instrument-eese
came out just to pose
and away those blues go!
