Tea For One

Tea For One Till Winter’s Done
tea for 1
that’s it
I’m done
autumn’s gone
will spring soon come?
a dollar here
and 2 more there
could buy some thoughts
should they be bought?
for pennies can’t
buy 1 small rant-
“I’m done with snow!”
(rant free, ya know)

Water Music
original watercolor spring landscape: 6"w x 5"h
Tuff Stuff
There once was a spring breeze named Sough
Not harsh nor decidedly tough
He nudged winter’s huff
Said “pick up your stuff”
And blew it away with a puff!

Suzuki Sophie
Sophie and I
are thinking about time
like when we’ll begin
our ‘Suzuki’ violin
of course it’s too soon
for the violin or bassoon
but we’ll be much older
by early October
for now, ‘though, we’ll pound
on some pots we have found...

Horn Adorned
original watercolor musical motif/horn: 11" x 11"
Spring Musical
oh spring
is the thing
we hope for in November
long for in December
lose in January
right through February
cry for in March
die for in April
can’t wait one more day
for the merry month of May
and still cold temps cling
to every bloomin’ thing!
so when the month of June
bursts suddenly into view
I look at her and smile
and bid stay with me awhile...

Just Play
Sophie and I
are through with restraint
we’re set up and eager
to throw down some paint
our free style technic
lets happy accidents speak
and then just like that
we shout out hoo-ray!
a horn came our way
and sat down to play!

Beethoven or Bust
original watercolor still life with Beethoven Bust: 15"w x 18"h
Beethoven or Bust
Just Sophie and me
working busily
on a still life that must
have a Beethoven bust
a violin with bow
and a keyboard also
we turn on some tunes
to get in the groove
a Baby Einstein CD
of Beethoven symphonies
those melodies and harmonies
and motives ingeniously
sing drama and passion
that’s always in fashion
Oh
Sophie and I know
there’s just nothing better
than creating together!

The Dynamic Duo
Sophie and BB
we’re busy indeed
with sledding
trike trekking
and shov’ling snow, too
we use up our morning
we have so much to do
then piano and drumming
and toy guitar strumming
and finally it’s lunching
while humming and munching
then on to our painting
with Beethoven playing
da da da dummmm
our nap-time soon comes
we’ve got to get that done
we sleep pretty quick
‘cause next on the list
a thing we can’t miss
it’s Symphony at three
they’re playing Brahms one
and Beethoven, too
Piano Concerto 4
our favorites for sure
oh the Fulton’s the place
to end our fast pace
get lost in the sounds
of great music in our town!

On the Rocks
original maritime watercolor: 9"w x 11"h
On the Rocks
oh my Sophie and me
we’d much rather be
on the rocks
by the docks
of Cape Ann by the Sea
and when a Nor’easter
those bellowing blows
nips at our keasters
our noses and toes
we’d just hold on tight
as it wails day and night
then blows out to sea
on or about day number three....

Sleeping Beauty
original watercolor child's portraits
ahhh little Annabelle
we confess
we don’t know you well
but you may have guessed
we love you all the same
‘cause we share our last name
and soon yes we know
we’ll see how you’ve grown
since the day you arrived
under sunny Savannah skies
in three months or less
we’ll see your progress
oo and ah o’er your tricks
of course we will think
you’re the bees knees in pink
‘cause we’re adoring fans
since your new life began

It’s 2000-eleven!
Where did that old year go
Sophie and I just want to know!
It was over so quick
we didn’t have time to think
And now we’ve gotta catch up
Our paintings need poems
Either long or abrupt
So please don’t interrupt
Till our Pork and Saurkraut Sup!
