personal poems
Suzae on Franklin Ave Minneapolis by Suzae Chevalier
I was in a mansion on the top floor
I had a architect kidy corner from my door.
A physical therapist on my other side
and a cottage house out back with recording
studio inside.
I met Bad Finger’s Joey Molland.
Yes, Mark Healey was in his band-
and they traveled in the Midwest land.
Anyway I digress–
it was a fun memory in time
some of the best.

Pink Hat in Lake Worth by Suzae Chevalier
Suzae Chevalier smiling for Miami photographer at Lake Worth Street Painting Festival.
In Lake Worth on a sunny day
a pink hat is on Suzae Chevalier.
Smiles galore

which she does adore.
He put up on Facebook
for friends to have a look.
Now it is on Google plus
it is on a post for all of us.

Children Are Like Butterflies
Children are like butterflies
that morph before your eyes
They can be molded–
but please sympathize.
Please treat children like
the precious beings they are-
let them take flight
and be a shining star.
Keep them smiling
even at age ten-
Make sure you really
listen to them-
and be their friend.
Children are geniuses
that can help the world
so encourage every boy and girl
that you meet to be the best they can be
for they are like the butterflies
colorful to show us how to be free.

BROOKLYN FOURTH OF JULY 2007 by Suzae Chevalier
The year was 2007-
I was on the roof of YWCA
almost close to heaven.
For the firecrackers went boom, boom, boom
all sound off with the light of the moon.
Looking up in the sky–
colors burst a mile high.
Zooming towards the water below
all four bridges sparkle and glow.
This all happens like synchronicity
looks so smooth with simplicity.
The Spectacular of Macy’s Fireworks display
is worth seeing by the bay–
if you happened to be up that way
to celebrate Independence day.
Try to get on a building rooftop fast–
fireworks great but won’t last
Take pictures if you can
of this Macy’s Fireworks Spectacular which is grand.

NYC 2001 – Poem by Suzae Chevalier
I was in NYC on the street of Lexington Ave.
This street is close to Madison known for it’s high class ads.
I was there in hotel room number 711-
believe me it was no peaceful heaven.
I was up all night with noise from a truck
up on the 7th floor is where I was stuck.
Tired I missed my bus the next day
I was very late to airport JFK.
Luckily an unlucky girl from MN was there
she was crying hysterical without a care.
We rebooked our flight out of Washington D.C.
driving to DC airport
before that plane did leave.
On the drive unlucky girl did complain
about the morning and everything.
I told her I lived on gambling for 7 months
and when I travel I had so much luck.
When we got to the airport the plane number did change
so I called on my cell phone to rearrange-
who would pick me up at the
last minute to spare
the lady announced the new flight number but I was still unaware.
Until I boarded the plane-
did I realize all the numbers were all the same.
My room number was 711-
along with the time message was left on my phone
even the number on the plane ride home.
They all were my Lucky 711
which made me think of 911 when that
catastrophe had struck
luckily none of my friends in NYC did get hurt or stuck.
Years later I lived at a 711 address-
I had an accident at that number on a
different street I do confess.
I ended up fine without a mess.
Now is 711 meant to be?
Should I play the lottery?
Now when 711 ever crosses my mind
I try to save it in my diary in that point in time.

Duluth 1996 by Suzae Chevalier
It was the summer of 1996-
I drove to Duluth with fellow Czechoslovakian.
Now Duluth is beautiful in the summer and the fall
The “bird watcher” visit and photograph it all.
Lake Superior also has ships large and great–
Lake Superior keeps Duluth warm in winter
and cool in summer never higher than 88.
Drove around downtown
College nightclub is what we found.
I wore some scarves
which wrapped around
around my waist
It looked fashionable and in good taste.
Everyone on dance floor watched my scarves
they saw how it began wrapping around my arms.
College girls started dancing like me
I was surrounded by ton of girls in a sorority
“I Wish I had Jessie’s Girl”
was the song I danced to
College kids watched me with all my moves.
When I left they all said “She’s leaving! ”
my friend told me and I’m not kidding.
I will go back there some autumn day
before winter comes and the leaves fly away.

Sunshine Couple by Suzae Chevalier
Mr and Mrs. Par
Smell of turkey and spice fill the air
I’m at Granny Krendoll’s house
who loves to share.
Yes, Granny Krendoll who is Jan Par
is the most giving person by far
Along with her husband I might add
he is also very happy soul, I wish he was my dad.
Sunshine couple is what they remind me of–
they travel across the country spreading their love.
They preach for a living “spreading the word”
Mr. Par is quite enthusiastic I have heard.
Now they came to visit me in 2009
they had just visited Jamaica and had a fun time.
A diary of their travels they do keep,
they are blessed by Jesus even while they sleep.
They look for the good in everything
I am so happy they are my friends.
