The Poppy Prance

Sophie and I

must say our goodbyes

to poppies that bloomed

in spite of monsoons

those strong April showers

did bring us some flowers

but most couldn’t tread

in water drenched beds

they did do their best

Sophie and I will attest

but maybe next year

there’ll be more poppy cheer

and we’ll get the chance

to paint their Poppy Prance

Sophie says

I really cannot wait

Sophie says

for a sunny day

Sophie says

probably in late May

when the winter will be over

meadows will burst forth in clover

we will paint plein air

in fields so fair

we hope to see you there!

Little Red Haired Girls

Our little red haired girls

Sporting layers of red-orange 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

Sophie's Spring

It’s a picnic kind of day

Sublime in so many ways

With jam and buttercups spread

A-top freshly baked bread

Sophie and me

In pastures of green

Beside the still waters

Our cup runneth over

Onto crimson and clover

Sophie and I cheer

‘Cause summer’s ‘most here!

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..
