| Me on our Alaska 2005 cruise excursion to the Yukon [click here for larger view] |
Sunny day I drive up
to North Yukon's greenery
Yellow dandelions
and purple violets
Spring had sprung, trees were green
Shimmering water in streams
and lakes was clear sky blue
The trees' wet and shinny
green new leaves shimmered too
The firewood turning gray
they'd save it for next fall (50)
My old truck helped the scene
its fenders rusting green
Trusty old Ford pickup
made nineteen-forty-one
Put me in the picture
driving clothes gave semblance
of humanity's warmth
Viewers would want to join
Blues in jeans and jacket,
red and white shirt, white shoes (44)
Bumper, bed boards, and chrome
Fences, siding and roof
Propane tank and faucets
with the chair all blend in
Artists call them fillers
My painting brush goes wild
with colors abounding
Seems as everything I do
is stitched with its color (41)
The brush does not mind
it enjoys the pozazz (9)
