Personal Poems
LAKE WORTH STREET PAINTING FESTIVAL 2011
Street Painting Festival was a great success
painted castle scene I did express
that birthday party ended swell
I painted it by myself.
Tons of people passing by
sun shining brightly in the sky.
My back and shoulders did get burned,
spray sunscreen every 90 minutes I did learn
friends brought me water for concerned.
All in all the festival was great
Talked to an Italian guy with tattooed arms
he hung around but meant no harm.
He stood by me and talked and talked
as I painted scene with colored chalk.
Coloring books I gave out some for free
others sold at Stuart Rooney’s
Import store
on table by door.
All in all the show was great
next year I can’t wait
for then I will paint
a totally different funny scene
Make it more of palm trees.

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.

Arylce and Beverly by Suzae Chevalier
Working at an architect firm-
I met two women where trust was earned.
Names are Arylce and Beverly
they lived the hard life with loyalty.
Loyalty to Smiley, Glotter & Nyberg architects
they did give–
they received a pension in which to live.
Now I saw Arlyce in a nursing home
where she was left all alone.
I gave her a Barbie Doll
She was so Happy to see me-!
she forgot it all-
Forgot she had schizophrenia
She said long words to me like never before.
Like “Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious!
Wow to see You in a million years!”
Then I talked to Arylce as I wiped my tears
she was very happy to see me-
she is a sweet dear.
Now with Beverly we sent Christmas cards
to each other with good cheer.
Beverly so sorry I didn’t get to Willmar when I was near.
Now both women friends have passed-
They are together laughing again at last.

LOUELLA HAS A VERY KIND HEART by Suzae Chevalier
Louella has a very kind heart
She always said the words “Golden”
right from the start.
Louella was very generous with me
She would let me make copies for free.
She also promoted my Barnes & Noble show
She would walk up Nicollet Mall—
Handing out flyers while shouting to the crowds
She was fearless, didn’t care if she was loud.
She gave me one of my Krendoll island chairs
She donated to me for she has a heart that cares.
She was always upbeat and in a good mood
I loved getting her lunches to show my gratitude.
Thank you Louella for helping me
And a big hug from Melodie
And also
Very Happy Birthday to You-
I hope its filled with glee.

Myrtle Beach 2010 by Suzae Chevalier
I booked a show to story-tell
In a church with UniCandle and Mel.
Myrtle Beach the destiny to be
I drove all night, to the hour of three.
I performed with puppets in front
of the church the next day-
Puppet recited poem with birds flying away.
Then downstairs to Sunday School
Children dressed in Krendoll costumes which were cool.
Children laughed real loud
Had so much fun the upstairs adult crowd–
Heard how children were having fun
This is before storytelling has begun.
Now storytelling of “Sarah’s Special Birthday” goes real smooth,
Girl in front acts out a pterodactyl with no tooth.
Photos taken that show the day,
It turned out great I have to say.

A Friend In Autumn by Suzae Chevalier
I met Autumn in the summer of 2003
she is in Callie now happy and carefree.
She is was a Hut studio artist back in the day
she looked like Drew Barrymore in everyway.
She gave me the green bridesmaid outfit
which I wore to promote me in Mn Fringe
Thank you Autumn, you are a sweet friend.
Nice to meet your mother and get dolled up
for the camera with Alan by the palm trees
it was great photos to put on my website.
Happy day to you out west-
that will be the state I will visit next.

All People’s Day Diversity Festival by Suzae Chevalier
“We need to start walking with God as a nation. We have made our own rules, so we have not been blessed.”
On March the 27th
All People of Diversity
will be present.
Present that is at Pompey Park
Children will play
Dogs will bark.
There will be much happiness
and glee.
People joining hands all

Sharing their cultures
having all kinds of fun.
So mark your calendars
for this day, it will be over
as fast at it came

Mn Fringe Festival 2003 by Suzae Chevalier
MN Fringe Festival Promo 2003
It was year 2003
Mn Fringe Festival I was in with Melodie.
Friends from Iowa came and played
played Krendoll character on the stage.
Melodie was hidden and they had to find
objects to melt her and make her celebrate in time.
Celebrate her birthday and become a Suzarian Star princess at last
Razel was waiting in the lurks and she would ruin it if given a chance.
Now, my show was original for I am a rogue
Most shows at Mn Fringe Festival are commercial and a bore.
The word Fringe means to be on the edge
they need to bring more shows like that
to Mn Fringe again.

Ellie Is Crowned Princess 2003 by Suzae Chevalier
Madeleine gives the princess
Ellie a beautiful flower or purple.
Friends line up to give gifts for the
the Birthday girl.
Her friends came from far and wide. To be apart of Ellie’s .
Special day and by her side.
Madeleine will
place a gold crown on Ellie’s head-
she is very happy from what is said.
Soon she will be a year older and is thrilled with it all.
She once was a girl that was small
