i once had a thought
original and clever...
but that thought i forgot!
gone forever? i hope not..
still, i’m dismayed
yes fraught and distraught
‘cause it may have been great
that thought i just lost!

Springspiration
original watercolor still life w/onions, boots: 10" x 14"
an artist displays
exhibitionist ways
but it’s all okay
‘cause painting filled days
and nights do remain
quite high on our list
of things we like best
so please don’t insist
we cease and desist!

what ho
Sophie and I
just want to know
who turned off the heat
and dimmed the lights low
where are the wool socks for our feet
our union jacks and turtlenecks
who said summer could retreat?
we are cold and so distressed
why can’t winter last one week
it’s time I guess
to hibernate
until next June
and we both hope
that comes real soon!

High Maintenance
what ho!
i just want to know
where did the years go
and my body….also
oh
back in the day
i simply must say
hard work had a way
of keeping at bay
those inches that stay
in places that…hey!
i don’t like today
i’m feeling betrayed
hence this, my tirade
i cannot evade
old age, i’m afraid
this is my refrain
you’re young…i’ll explain
the fact does remain
it’s HARD to maintain…

In the Blooming
my bed of sunflowers
prepping for hours
is all set to host
an end of summer toast
boasting nectar so sweet
tasty seeds, what a treat
for our faithful dine-ees
all feasting happily
dragonflies, bumble bees
butterflies, those drama queens
golden finches, reformed grinches
heady heat waves
shimmer and sway
hovering o’er
this late summer day
i wave goodbye
as they pack up, they try
to smile through their sighs
then southward they fly
the long winter’s night
is approaching too soon
will they come back next June?
I hope so, I do....

Toast!
cheers to beginnings
for 2000- twenty three
I do hope my paintings
do more than succeed
so here’s to good starts
what e're they may be
as paper and paint
spread out before me
may each have a touch
of magic I trust
as bravely I wield
my pencils and brush

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!

Winter Blues
oh, how I long for June or July
with summer sunshine
and butterflies passing by
this season of cold
has taken it’s hold
with harsh winds now wailin’
seems the sun has gone sailin’
so I’m getting all set,
though it’s hard not to fret,
as blankets cover my lap
and I settle in
for a long mid-winter’s nap......
