Our men, frail from fruit, walk among hyacinth shadows
They crawl across marblewalk courtyards-
Mist in quivering sunlight...

Impromptu
who wouldn't
want to be
Dr. Doolittle
doing nothing
or very little
become
a Franciscan monk
wave to a ganso
as she with every
wing beat says
goodbye...

Theres Something About Shirley
Short sighted Shirley, a young farmhand girlie
Life as a milkmaid meant getting up early
But it’s not the tiredness making her surly
Her hair has turned slimy: it’s normally curly
She talks to the cows like she’s Doctor Doolittle
Her hair, now it’s dry, is still sticky but brittle
She told the next cow that the last had one udder
But that cow exclaimed… that last cow was my brother!...

Dotty Doolittle
There once was a lady of Celtic descent
Who cosseted canines wherever she went.
The birds in her garden would sing forth her praise,
And stray cats salute her, their tails duly raised.
Grey squirrels would gleefully zig-zag all day
For here they had no need to cache nuts away.
And deer ate her plants but she'd care not a tittle;
No wonder friends nicknamed her 'Dotty Doolittle'!

Tea Service Sarcasm
tea service sarcasm
crumbless tongue
maids and servants frown
with all-nighter tongue twisters
the blister of three a.m.
the poor professor stumped
marbles roll in head, in mouth
mirrors and flames with burning words
and swords from poor, tired eyes
see a chalk line drawn ‘round the antagonist
the king has no say
disappears out of sight
Doolittle has no fight left
...she falls
in love

American West In Camouflage
Based on painting by Bev Doolittle: Woodland Encounter
American West in Camouflage
Two Indians* hide, in the birch forest,
and ride their pintos, hooves pitting the snow.
Conspicuous - red fox in clearing - sights
quiet stride of hide and seek…trenchant ears
at peak performance in centralized cope
…sentient sentinel highlights canvas.
