orange deepens 
twilight,
clasping
praying fingers…

towel-dry night
sketches,
drapes of wishes
held in secret

Leonardo, with sketches so grand,
Tried to teach his cat how to land.
It soared from the roof,
With a "Meow!" and a poof,
"That's not flight," he said, "misunderstand?"

tempos and rhythms
opening lines penned
sketches from yesterday
swirl random memories within
stirring from the silence,I awake
poured out into a sound
be planted as roots to a tree
stand firmly your ground...

Spent my working years as a graphic designer
Hand sketches won out, now computers are the equalizer
More difficult to succeed
A level field became key
Now one can design stuff from a comfy recliner...

ARTIST  NATURE


     Pretty patterns painted and drawn.
     Promise of crimson sunrise at dawn.
     Colourful sketches in bright twilight
     shown on sky album in delight.
     Artist Nature to dream and yawn....

The artist sees things others miss
He sketches the skyline onto a canvas
People pass by
No one looks at his drawing

Do they not see me? He wonders
Will they ever see me?
He dies wondering.
Becoming famous two hundred years after his death....

Mr. Sunshine said I'm his mistress 
But now I'm in distress. 
Oh! I was his beloved ,
Now he act as if we never loved. 
They call me evil as I've bulged pupil. 
My sketches seems so bad and my words say I'm sad. 
Fact is that I wasn't bad but I was a love mad!...

Sam, 
A man, 
A good man
Is now tainted
We judge by the shallow sketches painted;

 In the crimson, pallid, and cobalt dream,
The devil scheme,
A mean plan.
God bless …
Sam   

Male, 
A sex, 
A pretext.
Man is a lie.
Behind closed doors great heroes often cry....

WINTER SKETCHES

winter’s got me down
drifts of snow have turned dirty
sunlight doesn’t help
but a sudden spring rustle
this swooping pair of blue jays…

tow’ring backyard tree
upward far as i can see
a look – i’m dizzy
then chattering brings me round
tiny feet on frozen ground...

Moonbeam splits the somber cloud
sketches shimmering silver lines
satin sky holds the light in delight.
On the crest of waltzing waves
fluid pearls enwrap pieces of moon
sea sends the sparkle to the shore.

Ze French, they are haughty
    Kremlinites, vulgar, crude
  Le artiste charcoal sketches
    in the unvarnished nude  

  Brits keep a stiff upper lip
    Pointy-shoed Italians think they are hip
  Ukrainians fight like the dickens
    their stockpiles reduced to slim pickens...

Listen to poem:

Shadows are stiff
hard-edged, 
all telling,
not fibbing
nor forgiving.
The mind's eye is blind 
to the shadowy-side 
we carry in ruck-sacks behind
our backs.
Shadows are brutally honest,
dark and gloomy,
sketches of self in outline,
that we would rather lose
'cause they can't be
colored in....
