A nail goes in the barren wall to bring the spring alive
I can almost hear a bird that begs a morning sun to rise
There's a garden now between my palms, and dew within my eyes
The fog lifts high and drifts away, and clouds that hover...

A lonesome magpie~
perching on a forlorn wooden stairs
on a snowcapped mountain side
spells serenity in the day light.

The barn house reflects
the pale lavender shadows~
a soft blend of chiaroscuro; 
The thickened snow in impasto 
reminds me of winter daydreams 
of my love so far away.

The hanging frosty...

Lovely maid, in solitaire

 With parasol and silken hair

  With hope she dreams, for love she waits

   For lover's kiss at garden's gate

     Pastel dreams, of vast array

      Blending hues of wild bouquet

One little sidestep off the beaten track, 
Is a colorful garden of dazzling shades,
With blood red geraniums of scintillating hue
Interspersed by those of white and baby pink,
Where beauty sings mysteriously, 
Reigning in every theme, a place of bliss
Where silence speaks for itself,
Where bees are the...

ah, yes, Monet 
delicate brush
subtle pastels
repetition
trying to get it right
trees, lily pads, meadows, flowers,
redoing and redoing,
the same scene many times over
trying to perfect his craft
he did not realize that he already had...

Her heart was a watercolor foyer.
  Drifting about eddies-beneath fatal falls.
     Wishing away the violets,
       morning roses and midnight glories.
    Fading mist-stained beating. 
  Her loves inheriting the aromas
percolating from...

No greater love than in my heart
for this I always knew from the very start
no mountain too tall to climb
knowing one day you would be mine
my version of Monet skies
the pride of my two turquoise eyes
lying down upon blades of grass
gently sir, caress my breast

Claude Monet
all those lilies that got in his way
traversing those pads
it's now understood was just one of his fads....

Pinpoints of lightened tones blush in grace
with  impressionistic  smudges…
ornate yet mellow like hues
glistening fine textures
on Monet’s lattice,
breathing  alive
as I soak
in his
oil !

Paris Down Under


I heard the thunder
all the kangaroos hid
children screamed in fear
the witch, her brew asunder

I calmed the innocent
peace is within my sphere
I danced with a Wolfe
Birds took a glance at philosophy

A druid mumbles
give peace a chance
I swallowed a lemon
said are crazy Sheilas in sanity?

Ars Longa

It finally happened!
Someone in the East Wing
Goateed a Madonna and redid a Rembrant
a la de Kooning.

A blond with Vogue patterns
is crouched on the hall--
She's eyeing a Van Gogh
eyeing her from the wall.

We judge from the blushes
of blue-rinsed ladies in fur
Rude comments were made
on the...
