Black Mood
watercolour on paper
12″x18″
i’m in a black mood
can’t you tell?
with a shade of purple
in there as well
when i’m all knotted up
i start to see red
cross me if you dare
if you want to be dead

Spring to Fall
watercolour on corrugated cardboard
12″x15″
does Spring spring to Fall
or does Spring fall?
do you fall when you spring
or do you spring when you fall?
can you spring on springs
and not fall or do you fall?
it’s all a pun on nature
and that’s au naturel

Blue Concerto on a Green Planet
watercolour on paper
12″x18″
when blue spirits frolic
in the green planet
taking over the environs
they blend, create havoc
seeping through elements
tinting all conditions
nurturing all of nature
ensuring life ever after

Masks
mixed media on paper
12″x18″
pink is a pretentious color
not bright or passionate or splashy like red
pink is a frivolous color
not mysterious or deep or rich like purple
pink is a playful color
not serious or intent or thoughtful like indigo
pink is a wanton color
not quiet or peaceful or calm like blue
pink is a pallid color
not vivid or living or fertile like green
pink is a deceptive color
not clear or truthful or honest like yellow
pink is a mask that people wear
a deception some like but others can’t bear

Twined
watercolour on paper
12″x18″
twined together two totalities
twist tempting tantalizing
taut throughout temperature tormenting
tarrying teasingly torsos tangling
torrid taunting tempestuous tangoing

Love in Blue
watercolour on paper
12″x18″
love in blue is love that’s true
love that’s deep
love that’s new
love that frees
love that soothes
love that sees
love in blue, that’s what it is

Lazy Afternoon
watercolour on paper
12″x18″
what can be better than a good lazy afternoon
reclining, relaxing, revitalizing
recalling, remembering, reminiscing
recovered, rested, restored, revived
renewed from au naturel afternoon

Company
watercolour on paper
12″x18″
everyone knows two is company
you can spend a day in harmony
talk or silence won’t matter at all
just having you there as close as can be
is the perfect way to share your company

Tyger Tyger
watercolour on paper
14×16
Tyger, tyger wrote a poet
in the shadows, thought he saw it
if it drew near you’d never know it
barely hear the grass around it
Tyger, tiger fearful creature
we cringe in fear at your raw nature
barely moving silent mover
glorious masterpiece of nature
Tyger, tiger do you ever
know how much fear in us you render
calm and patient stand you there
panicked, scared, we favour prayer.
