Friend Poems

My Friend Bill by Suzae Chevalier

Chalk painting donated to Saint Joseph’s Assistant Living

Half Italian, half Irish for his last name is Maroney
his name on stage rhymes with baloney.
He thinks my artwork is very colorful, with colors of May.
Now, he was good friends with my dear friend Jimmy,
they would go to all the restaurants in the Lake Worth city.
Now Bill is his first name but his middle name is John,
he was a economics professor in Michigan.
His mother is a sweetheart and she is still alive,
she is in upstate New York and almost ninety five.
Bill hopes to get in shape, I think he can doesn’t eat past eight.
Bill always visited me on Comedy Night at the Rumshack,
He always thought I was funny and laughed and laughed.
Thanks Bill for supporting me as an performing artist and
visual artist too, hopefully that big original painting will sale
when my book sales go through the roof.

ANGEL MY NIECE

 

Baptized in church in Minneapolis

it was a special day I would not miss.

I have a photo of you and me

we both were smiling happily.

Then when your first Christmas came

I got to see you once again.

First Christmas for baby Angel my niece

It was happy and filled with peace.

Then of course I would only see you sparingly.

I have pictures of your volleyball game

you are a teenager now you don’t look the same.

I also have photos of you and with Allisa at your grandma’s

You are very happy just because.

Because you are a sweet and caring girl

You are precious to the world.

I’m glad I saw you graduate

It was a glorious and memorable day.

Happy Birthday I also wanted to say

I hope you received your card I sent your way.

Sonny Days – Poem by Suzae Chevalier

Driving down A1A

I was with friend Sonny

during very sunny days.

Playing her radio very loud

we had a blast driving

through town.

Down, down to

Ft. Lauderdale

where there is a

tunnel that made

me pale.

Yes, I couldn’t wait

to get to the other side
cars coming at you
you could not hide
making it though and still alive

everything feels just so fine.

At the library we did type

getting things kicked out

like playing a melodie pipe.

Eating at a restaurant that very night,

Ft Lauderdale has changed so much in sight.

One things for sure and do say,

it was fun remembering those very

Very “Sonny Days”.

Emma Jean Hears Walt Disney’s Great Plans

Jean whose given name was Emma Jean

Emma Jean who is storyteller supreme

grew up in Missouri with all beautiful things.

Her dad a doctor invented the kidney dialysis machine—

She would go on doctor house calls before

she was a teen.

In fact Emma Jean was only eight years old—

in California–making it grand.

Swinging on the front porch she did hear—

all stories of her mother’s childhood

these are found memories she held so dear

PHILADELPHIA 2007

Suzae with Nikon camera

To Philadelphia 2007 to catch a long train from Penn Station
I went to Philly for a mini vacation.
Traveling over the longest bridge
chugging along a vast mountain ridge.
Visited publisher in Philly that day
it was warm and sunny I do say.
Waking up refreshed to sight see–
Taxi driver picked me up for free.
I saw statues with soldier on horse
I think it was Paul Revere who

rode on my birthday in 1776.
This was the last photo for we felt before we went back
afraid of homeless people sleeping with their sacks

My experience with downtown Philadelphia 2007 was not like heaven.

Maya’s Martini

maya

Maya Johnson and Martini

Martini the little shiatsu was cute as can be

Wagging his tail so carefree.

by the ocean with good friend Suzy.

Now he was very aware

for when he got scared

he hid under Maya’s desk

and there he would rest

his head on Maya’s small feet

then he’ld look up for a treat.

“Now why did you name him Martini? ”

I asked Maya quizzically one day.

Then Maya turned her head to say

“Well, this is the story Sue Chevalier–

“Martini was named after the club

where people like to dance–

I met my husband Ron

there by circumstance.”

All three used to live together by the sea

Martini passed on but Maya has fond memories

of her sweet Shiatsu dog named Martini.

ARTIST NANCY WALLER by Suzae Chevalier

Artist Nancy Waller at he studio in Minneapolis, Minnesota.

I remember hearing a voice,

“go down this road” was the choice.

Road 42nd Street West in south Minneapolis.

Great visual artist I would meet,

She drew wild life animals detailed and neat.

Nancy Waller was her name,

she drew endangered species

to help bring about awareness and change.

she was the best artist I loved her most of all,

she went to her see her at the museum,

took photos with her that where very pleasing.

I was happy for Nancy designed,

coloring books  as cute and fine.

Nancy got my books off to a great start,

she inspired me and has a pure heart.

Thank you Nancy for inspiration and passion too,

you’re a great artist, through and through.
