Huge free space hovers
Over water fierce and strong
We touch beach sand toes
Stillness but for shrieking birds
Stunned by this beauty, soft hue

Watercolor and poem by MJC

Art with children, joy
Messes galore face and hands
Color everywhere
What can we create better
Than wholesome chaos, yahoo!

Painting by Anna Chamie, Poem by MJC

A friend wrote goodbye
I replied sorrow, thanks, love, 
Must say past slowly
Only days to make happen
What should have taken decades.




Watercolor painting and poem by MJC

Just lost an option,
Took another one instead.
How did it happen?
Fiddled and connived madly
Oh to confront flub, ye gads.

She climbs up grinning
Accomplished, driven, so bright.
What chance have they, those 
Little ones who perch on bars, 
To play with friends peacefully?
















Oil painting and poem by MJC

Untangling web of
politics damned sad scowling
Disdain thoughts dug in
Run to nowhere fast slow down
Silly dangerous clown ugh bah

Poem and sketch by MJC

Respect these trees for
they touch skies, deep down in earth;
with grandeur prevail,
green needles protecting bark,
light breaks provoking quiet.
