Christopher was at our hotel to greet us, to make sure we were safe
he even helped carry our bags.
Christopher told us how we loves Seattle.
How he’s lived there all his life.
We learned

In the Footsteps of Christopher
("The Heart of It #2", 2007, original oil)
In the Footsteps of Christopher
The Bearer of Christ
As man of form and formless spirit
literally, figuratively, coarsely, subtly,
bringing us to where we are today
on this farther shore
blessed with the abundance of Eternal Life.
But how many of us even notice?
How many take the time
to see the light, feel the breeze
and

Rehashing History: Christopher Columbus, a Man With a Plan
Columbus was not the slightest bit offended
At King Ferdinand's dismissive sound
When he declared the world was round,
His was not a plan that very many comprehended.
Though the queen, Isabella, thought Chris a fine fella,
Her spouse wanted nor hair nor hide of it.
"The horizon", he snarled, "marks the edge of the world."
But Capt. C. was convinced that

Christopher Plummer
Tip your hat to Plummer, his well-deserved claim to fame,
Gracing us with class acts in more than seven decades.
"Captain", I insist, among your "clean, bright" accolades
The Sound of Music's Edelweiss echoes with your name.

The Curious Case of Christopher Peewee Flaherty
The curious case
Of
Christopher Flaherty
Who began and started out in life with
a perfectly normal human sized brain
Born with a wise old head on his
shoulder's old before his time
That over time and age regressed
And shrunk into the size of a tiny little
pettit-poi pitt
A fair haired good looking newborn
dribbling from the mouth
Barely able to hold a

Tears Are Good
Tears are good!!
Tears are good, really they are, indeed.
Tears are better than smiles since they show you your
own, and those who are
pawns of the world, clowns behind the bar.
Tears are a window when your vision is a blur, yet
you can see quite clean,
crimson and reds, whites and blues of the green
world.
Green in jealousy! Yet, Green

Christopher Robin
Christopher Robin a friend from long ago,
His author A.A. . Milne.
His friends Winnie-the-Pooh, and Tiger
Delightful and kind.
He was seen with his friends,
Champion of storybooks.
Real folklore hero,
Beloved storybook friend,,
Colorful character ,
Visiting his companions from the acre wood.
Beloved and read by society,
What miracle this time passage.

There once was a boy named Christopher
who often chose to be very mystical
Magic was his fray
Abracadabra he would say
