We enjoyed our Poetry Reading, singing and view of Jeanne’s family of self-published e-books.
Several artists learned how to publish on Blurb.com.

Quenby Poland’s photos in the books and frames were
admired.

Even Oliver and Annika , at 2 and 4 years of age participated.

Who knew Columbia Greene College could
welcome all ages to their halls to celebrate life, love and fine art without a wrinkle in time?

babyfawn
Fawn to Doe

Tame to wild
Held to lift
Small to tall
Slow to swift.

Milk to bark
Bleat to nod
Nest to field
Soft to hard

Babe to Doe
Sniff to know
Shift to surge
Rest to go

Hailstones-Moss

Hailstones whipping
Moss creeping
Moss algae
Ice freezing

Hail flying
Moss grabbing
Moss clinging
Hail climbing

Hail cuts
Moss cowers
Moss shelters
Hail showers

Hail shouts
Moss whispers
Moss whimpers
Hail twisters

Giraffe 0n Giraffestretch limo

Up in the Trees

stretch limo
riding high
shotgun seat
in the sky

far away
close to spine
clutching tight
neck so fine

lift to leaves
munch for zest
best to come
graze and rest

CopsBehind Me

Tail-Gating

Cop behind
My behind

Tail hung low
Low tail lights

Natural look
Stride for real

Really scared
Scared for life

Stare that rattles
Rattles cool

Swagger school
From the pool

Of warrior dogs
Not for fools!

dog-on-horse

Spaniel
spans ship-to-shore
slip and slide ride
perched on slippery stallion
short of shipping lane
swimming sea leagues
five kilometers a clip.

kitten-with-tail-curled

Head to tail
World’s apart
Meow or wail
Wag or dart

Ears point north
Tail points south
‘Cept when curled
Tongue in mouth

Upside down
Eyes blink fast
Tail uncurls
Flag unfurled

Head tucked in
Perfect spiral
Tail wrapped round
Furry gyral.

Esperanto from AARP page

Behold the last page of my AARP Magazine.
They want us to do brain gymnastics. I cheer!
But also am interested in this universal language because it is used in the school in AZ where I go to video Ken Slesarick, my poet friend’s Poetry Club.
(If you want you can search my blog for The post: “Childrens Poetry Club” and view the video.
So enjoy circling the words
and finding the names:
LEO TOLSTOY
J.R.R. TOLKIEN
JULES VERNE
JOHN PAUL II
who lobbied for this language.

pet to raptor
rapture met
in feathers

beak of raptor
no back door
escape

claws of raptor
not yet sharp-
cuddly

baby raptor
tiny squat
knows not what
a raptor does

yet.

Jon and Kavi

It’s a …
singular sensation:
double celebration
smile and tongue libation
cloned manipulation!

Father’s Day Creation
Jon and Kavi a-tion!
