Love in Blue (poem and painting)

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 (poem and painting)

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 (poem and painting)

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

The Fast Lane (poem and painting)

0

The Fast Lane
watercolour on paper
12″x18″

What do you see in the fast lane?

zipping images through a window pane

faceless people who have no names

you don’t see anything in the fast lane

What do you feel in the fast lane?

daring, challenge, anger, pain

fast and flowing, you can’t complain

there’s only stress when you’re in the fast lane

What do you get in the fast lane?

heat, smoke, dust, nothing to gain

excitement, tension, a driver’s bane

rest is eternal in the fast lane

Butterflies (poem and painting)

0

flitter flutter little butter

fly from flower to flower

what purpose? what care?

sip all the nectar that you dare

flutter by on wings of blue

or any other rainbow hue

i gasp in pleasure watch you flitter

you care for naught but where

to find another pretty flower
