I went for a little cityscape today. This was the
view out my hotel window in Inner Harbor,
Baltimore, MD. The sun was glowing on the building.

Surprise Symphony for Sophie
Sophie eyes were all a-flutter
As we watched those geese
Spit and sputter
With such great flurry
And greater hurry
They crashed into the water
They just couldn’t bother
To gracefully dive
When chaos apparently
Allows them to thrive
And noisy city streets
Have not got them beat
Their honking cacophony
Is their own spring symphony.

Buttercup and Sunflower Daze
Sophie and I
Are anxious time counters
Of the weeks, days and hours
Till summer and sunflowers..
So we’re planning an event
To keep us content
A friendly little picnic
In a meadow very near
Where busy bees peer
Over petals and cheer
Their great luck at finding
A clover patch so inviting
And birds by the throngs
Sing melodious spring songs
Now that winter is gone...
We’ll have jam and buttercup bread
To keep our tummies well fed
Sweet meadow tea for me
None for Sophie till she’s two or three...
Well, maybe a bit sooner, we’ll have to see
So we’re waiting for our day
When Buttercups are in bloom
And our Sunflowers, too
Would you like to come
Please do
We’ll be waiting here just for you!

Sophie Says
Hey there Sophie
What can we say
Of this painting
That is waiting
For a clever
word endeavor
Tying everything together to the letter
We’ve got eggplants
Pumpkins, peppers
Doin’ dances
Stealin’ glances
Some romantic
Silly antics
All in view of stodgy bottles with those long necks.
Did we mention
That cute donkey
A slow stepper
To the pepper
And those patterns
Folds and colors
Help unite the veggies all to one another...

Lyrical Landscape
original: 12 1/2"w x 10"h
A Spring Thing
Meadows bordering a grove of trees
Spreading a canopy
Of blues and greens
Sifting a symphony
Intense, yet serene
Of filtered though slight
Shimmering sunlight
The pathway to spring
Is a glorious thing...
