Fare Thee Well
My poppies have taken
Their final bows
Yet Sophie and I are not saddened somehow
For they staged a great show
And Sophie and I know
(Yes, we both have an unction)
That next year’s production
Will bring a Tony Award induction!

Little Red Haired Girls
All the little red haired girls
Sporting layers of orange-red curls
Are prancy and dancy
And especially fancy
In the merry month of May
As they celebrate each day
‘Cause that’s the time of year
They spread their good cheer
And wish everyone summer sun-days
With beach, pool, and park fun-days!

Poppy Pageant
More little red-haired girls
Than we’d hoped for or imagined
It looks just like
A beauty queen pageant!
Sophie and I, artistic hosses
Are painting their portraits
Till our poppy bosses
Are stems with great 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 all their faces
To show at exhibits,
And gallery places

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 perfect dance for them
As they twirl and spin around
On those strong 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!
The punch and simplicity in this series is spectacular! I love the dance they create when scrolling thorough them all! Beautiful...
ReplyDeleteThanks for the comment, Susan! The poppies are over now so I will be awaiting the blooming of my sunflower girls. Are you an artist or an art lover or both?
