I wait
for a cool breeze
to blow
away heat
that melts me.
A rushed face
drawing–
and it shows.
Out here,
me and the dog,
some frogs,
some chirping birds,
and another face
is done.

Delightful Faces
from
cheap paper
lopsided eyes stare—
lush lips lock away a secret,
a funky nose blows away
the blues.
and here is joy
to draw,
to create
delightful faces.

Keep off the grass,
Pick-up after your DOG,
Don’t pick the flowers–
except after dark

The Critic
The Critic
She sits in the window
blocking me
from the world
bouncing crumbled
half-finished art
off my head.
Taunting,
“draw, draw, draw,
and still, alien eyes
and a nose that blows
stale air.”
I say to her,
“you’re quite pale today,
go now,
and play in the sun.”

Winter Magic
I revel in your cold magic and
build castles out of dreams.

the days in between
some days leave you cussing
and some have you dancing,
all others days fall somewhere in between.

Final Play
no time on the clock,
the ball, grip it,
RUN.
