EmBell-ishment
original watercolor still life w/horn, crayons: 15" x 15"
Practice makes better
But perfect?
Not ever...
Especially if horn playing
Is what you can do
You’ll prob’ly improve
But that’s questionable, too
My advice to you
Buy a French Horn Kazoo!

Fruit Loops
original watercolor still life with violin, lemon, lime, apple: 9" x 12"
and this is the question
can I toss intention
and renounce all strife
at this stage of life?
could I, if you please,
watch daytime TV
munch crackers and brie
sip Long Isle Iced Teas
would I, do you see,
be happy with ease??

Santa's Boot
original watercolor sunflowers, boot: 10" x 14"
Sophie Says
what ho
I’d really like to know
who’s lying in that manger bed
with a stable roof o’er His head
and why are there reindeer
flying in the night sky
with a guy in a sleigh
following close behind
And
there’s a tree in our house
with packages strewn about
and Mommy's in a fuss
baking lots of good stuff
it’s confusing, you know
for a five year old, so
I’ll just ask BB
she'll explain it to me!

The Fairway
original watercolor cows, horses, tractor and barns
Sophie says
BB what’cha doin’?
BB says
lookin’ all around
and this is what I’ve found
the fact is this
I’ve made a list
of works I love
that did not miss
the mark I set
for sure success
and though I know
bragadocio
is not allowed
I’ll not be cowed
I’ve got a LOT
that hit the spot
and these 'Fair' works
are 'Best in Show' Berts!

and why are there reindeer
flying in the night sky
with a guy in a sleigh
following close behind
And
there’s a tree in our house
with packages strewn about
that I’m not s’posed to touch
and there seems to be such
a decorating fuss
it’s confusing, you know
for a two year old, so
I’ll just ask BB
I’m hoping that she
can explain it to me!

Into the Winds
original watercolor cityscape, NY city: 10" x 14"
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......

PleikuPark'nShop
original watercolor cityscape, Pleiku, VietNam: 10" x 15"
more treasures I find
as still I press on
will I get to an end
will it ever be done
dreams lurk in my mind
every night as I rest
while days are task-filled
on this treasure filled quest
I know that in time
there’ll be a reward
a peace not soon spoken
but one that endure
