Norman Rockwell Scene
I had to stop the car
to take another look.
It could have been a page
from Norman Rockwell’s book.
A farmhouse painted white,
a porch with rocking chairs,
chickens in the barnyard
scratching for their fare.
Tousled red-haired boy
freckled face and all
chasing yellow puppy
running with his ball.
Tiny girl in pinafore
blond curly hair in bows
sitting on the porch steps,
dolls

Life In a Norman Rockwell Painting
I want to live in a Norman Rockwell painting
Where I'm surrounded by the simple times
If you don't know what I mean let me explain it
It consists of front porch swings and Mom's apple pie
Sunday afternoons in Grandma's kitchen
Lazy fishing days down by the lake
Or in a Soda Shop drinking Chocolate Malts with cherries on top

brilliant man with nostalgia values
with dreams viewed of a perfect life

with sense of humor, shown
with heartwarming bonds

Norman Rockwell
I love the work of Norman Rockwell!
It recalls to mind memories,
When the times were more sublime.
Stories written with paint,
I can understand!
His work will live
Forever.
Thank you,
Norm!

A Rockwell Christmas Child
Tree lights are on, and dinner's done
A tummy full from Christmas cake
A sticky face from candy canes
A cookie plate with Santa's name
Stockings hung, by the fireplace
And traces of some sleepy faces
They rub their eyes, they hide their yawns
And daddy tells a story, old
While mommy shares a bedtime song
And bedside prayers, on knees, behold
A touch of

Normal Rockwell
Rockwell was my rock
The reason I became
A graphic designer
Seeking fortune & fame
Achieved my portion
Of the fortune part
And fame, at least locally
Graphics was my art
Long before computers
I will king of the hill
Even after, my design skills
Were valued still
Worked on the art table
Longer than most
Wasn't sent out to pasture
Till later, I can boast
I still miss the challenge
That
