Personal Poems
Maya’s 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
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.
