Plein Air Invitation

2010-01-19T15:47:00.009-05:00

Come over to my porch to paint
I've set up roses with lime
Greens and yellows have begun to blot the sycamores
My neighbor has just cut her grass
So the breeze is intoxicating, and in my yard
Dandelions are out in full flavor.

New Year's Snow

2010-01-01T15:26:00.022-05:00

Snow has softened new year's morning
Trim for the ground and dark maple's breast
Whose watchful mother finger twigs
Hold fast her robin's empty nest

The Lower Lake

2009-12-30T13:39:00.016-05:00

At sunset by the lower lake where we walked
Cold wild darkness came over
Geese lurked and lingered at the bridge
Their green glowing eyes floated in the cat tails
And in pools of simmering concentric waves
White starch moon flickered on the water

Harmonicas Play

she says his song reminds her of
the streets of paris
he smiles --the goat-footed
balloon man --
takes her hand
kisses her long fingers
harmonicas play thin silver rain

Wind Chimes

above their random rhapsody
a mourning dove
in the neighbor's tree
reprises our passion
of apres midi

WINTER LIGHT
moon on the snow
belies the hour
reminds me of you
your sparkling mind
strong, never cute

No One Compares to You

2008-09-10T11:49:00.026-04:00

I study a world of shapes and values
now and then a painting pushes out:

a cyclist in Washington Square
this child clutching balloons
that woman walking by the window
her graceful arm behind her neck

our model Marie, an Olympian vision
of balance shadow and light --
I draw her as a muse of drama

but when I look at you it’s more than all that.

At the Dock

Let's begin with this imaginary bottle of champagne
I would rather pour a glass for you and me
But convention rules that we smash it against the hull
Of our bonnie boat and wave as she fades into clouds
