*Woman In Wood* 40" H X 30" W Acrylic On Canvas

In
Fact,
I keep
My
Hopes
Intact
Reflecting
On
Those
Who
Reached
The
State
Of
Doing,
Being,
Truly
Great
In
Events
Handed
Them
By
Fate.
As
For
Me,
I stumble
Every
Day
In
Some
Humble,
Tiresome,
Way,
But
When
I fall,
Tell
The
Devil
I gave
My
All.

*Three Apples* Acrylic On Canvas 16" H X 20" W

Although
It
Is
Hot
And
Sunny
Every
Day,
The
Soft
Fruits
Of
Summer
Have
Slipped
Away.
Peaches,
Cherries,
And
Plums
Succumb,
And
The
Choices
Grow
Thin
At
The
Season’s
End.
Then
It’s
Apples,
As
I grapple
With
Summer’s
Loss,
September
Soon
To
Be
Nature’s
Boss.

*Touchdown Jesus* Ohio, USA Sculpture

The
Fat
Lady
At
The
Market,
In
A
Tee
Shirt
Of
Red,
Emblazoned
With
An
Image
Of
A
Legend
Long
Dead,
Blocks
The
Aisle
With
A
Vacant,
Benevolent
Smile.
The
Shirt
Bears
A
Biblical
Curse,
Various
Blessings
Likely
Locked
In
Her
Purse,
Her
Mind
A
Hash
Of
Sour
Mash
I inhale
As
I squeeze
By.
Oh,
Lord,
How
Long
Will
Fools
Use
Your
Word
Like
Song
Lyrics
They
Think
They
Have
Heard?

I consider
The
Mimosa
Tree,
The
One
I see
As
I drink
My
Morning
Tea.
Last
Year
I was
Told
The
Tree
Was
Too
Old,
And
That
Was
Why
Branches
Had
Gone
Dry,
And
Pieces
Of
Bark
Littered
The
Lawn.
‘Cut
‘Er
Down’,
Said
The
Fellow,
Showing
Me
Leaves
Turning
Yellow.
I did
Not
Listen
To
Him,
Sprayed,
Sawed,
And
Trimmed,
And
To
Boot,
Spent
A
Bundle
Of
Loot,
But
This
Year,
My
Dear,
The
Tree
Is
A
Glory,
End
Of
Story.

*Torso 5* 30" H X 24" W Acrylic On Canvas

Setting
Out
On
My
Trusty
Steed,
Fulfilling
The
Daily
Need
To
Slay
The
Dragon
Doubt
As
I may,
In
What
I write
Or
Do
Or
Say,
And
Though
It
May
Seem
Quaint,
Life
Is
A
Canvas,
And
I am
The
Paint.

*Iris* 16" H X 12" W Acrylic On Canvas

Struggling
Humanity,
So
Given
To
Inanity,
Praying
For
A
Change
In
Luck,
Pining
For
The
Perfect
Fuck,
Warlike,
Greedy,
Endlessly
Needy,
Constantly
Bereft,
With
Loss
And
Death
Hand
In
Glove,
Nonetheless,
We
Love,
We
Love.

*The Bottom Of The Sea* Oil On Paper

A
Windless
Day.
The
Light
Lay
Latticed
Beneath
The
Pergola,
The
Calm
Bay
Gathering
In
Distant
Wrinkles
Toward
The
Resistant
Sand,
Your
Hand
In
Mine,
Blessed
By
Sunshine.
Far
Below,
There
Was
Resounding
Woe.
The
Two
Canadians
Deep
Diving
Off
The
Reef,
Going
By
Mutual
Accord
For
The
Cherished
Record,
Perished,
Vanished,
Stolen
By
Poseidon’s
Thief.
And
The
Wind
Lifted
Sharply,
As
If
To
Say
All
This
Would
Blow
Away,
Danger
The
Constant
Vice
In
Paradise.

*Four Peaches* 16" H X 20" W Oil On Linen

Late
August
Means
The
End
Of
Peaches,
But
I am
One
Who
Reaches
For
The
Last
Fragrant
Globe,
Flagrant
With
Juicy
Flesh,
Designed
To
Refresh.
Then
They
Give
Way
To
The
Faithful
Apple,
Dappled
By
The
Sun,
And
Fall
Has
Gastronomically
Begun.

*Paul Cezanne* A Modern Olympia

My
Companions,
In
Beauty
Found
A
Flaw.
I stood
In
Awe,
They
Did
Not
See
The
Perfection
Apparent
To
Me,
That
Had
Endured
For
A
Century.
How
Dull
The
Eye,
How
Small
The
View,
And
There
Was
Nothing
I could
Do
Or
Say
To
Wipe
Their
Vision
Clean
Enough
To
Observe
The
Skill
And
The
Artistic
Nerve.

Avoiding
The
Serrated
Edge
Of
Worry,
I try
Always
Not
To
Hurry
In
An
Unseemly
Way,
And
Remain
At
Ease
In
My
Day,
But
Oh,
The
Night,
The
Small
Hours
And
Their
Fright.
I do
My
Best
And
Seek
To
Rest
Random
Troubles
In
A
Cask
Of
Painted
Tin,
My
Task
Every
Moment
To
Begin
Again.
