"Good Morning, World!"

Watery Stroke

Pink washed horizon

seeps into dawn like the pull

of My Heart to Sky

Peter’s Birthday

Eye have painted The World

Blue

on the anniversary

of My First Date

with My Children’s Father

when We picked strawberries

and drank champagne

and imagined

living

in Nova Scotia

As Heard On The Beach

“I think such and such

has lapsed into

“I feel like this or that

spoken by the younger set

Dr Blair’s Secretary

Eye had a dream

of Treena’s Hair —

back to normal

dark brown

cut short

and cute

PURITY

Eye am living

in The State of Relief —

I will not be contstrained

by the formation

of even having to write

in Haiku

Fountain of Youth

The silhouette of My Scraggly Apple

with Its new three leaves

looks like the edging

on some of My Paintings:

blobs of lichen and lines —

drips carried

off by the end

of a paint stick

Question

Eye wake before the sun is up

I go to bed before it’s down —

am I following the path of light

or is it following Me?

Early Morning Moon

Eye watched The Moon

escape The Clouds —

the veil of its delicate

clip

to be released

above My Bowl of pink

and gold beneath

the accent of its reach —

only to disappear amidst

the haze of upper

streak

OVERVIEW

We are seen

in relation to Others:

Our Friends

Our Relatives

and We go

about Our Lives

under the illusion

of Security

Over Baccaro

My sun emerging:

opposite of dead ember —

new flare of all life
