Personal Poems
HENRY’S VOICE IS OF A HEALING SOUND
Henry says sensational words to me…
that flow like honey during spiritual retreat.
His words “The love and the light that we are”…
make me feel like a shining star.
See Henry has a way with words…
his healing CD is the best I’ve heard.
His voice has a very healing sound that fills in the spaces all around.
“Creating Space” is what he says
to make us feel more empowered and totally blessed.
“Starting a new in all that you create today”
his words of wisdom is one of the ways.
Henry brings healing to his sound sessions in Delray.
His instruments have soothing sound to my ear
making relax and be in good cheer.
Thank you Henry for your thoughtfulness and insight-
and making the earth a better place
with your kindness and loving grace.

Bora Bora Connection
Suzae in Bora Bora
Bora Bora was an island with strong connection
The Air Tahiti Nui logo is a flower that I draw
it is in my children’s book
I never before saw.
I also have a birthday ceremonial chair
they use the same chair in these islands
when people get married-
it has an extra flair.
Now Paul Gauguin was a French painter
who painted a fruit basket with a knife—
I would like to revisit Bora Bora
like Gauguin did who lived there at end of his life.

BEAUTIFUL POETRY OF CHARLES
Charles who I had called Chuck
Had with me the best of luck.
Luck at the casinos in MN, Wisconsin
at the time–
I felt the angels all around me
A feeling of the sublime.
He was the first to be unconditional
And accepting of me
He felt like a great uncle
He felt like real family.
He felt I my cartoon characters
Were great as fantasy-
He said I would go down in history.
He was a very talented in the written word—
He wrote excellent poetry that I have ever heard.
A beautiful poem at his funeral was read—
The poem was outstanding
And words sound lovely said.
I will post his poems for him and share it with
The world.
They need to be heard by boys and girls.

Louisa The Sweetheart
Louisa who is very sincere-
She is someone that
Loves her family very much
She is very dear.
She is so gracious and kind.
She looks out for the underdog
and she looks for the good in people.
Louisa who I saw two days
In a row
first at Starbucks
where she gave me good
advice for me to know.
Then at art class at library
Where we painted a tree scene…
Louisa wore pretty orange dress
With beautiful embroidery.
Nice to see you Louisa once again
Nice to have you as a friend!

Birthday Vacation 2000 by Suzae Chevalier
Are new birthday is when we are born again in the Spirit with our Lord Jesus Christ.
Year 2000 early spring
I was staying in the “Stratosphere”
I went to the top, and looked down with fear.
Now I heard Tom Cruise took the sky jump down
I’m afraid of heights–
I don’t want to break my crown better to walk around the town.
We walked down the strip-
looking at all things hip–
like the Treasure Island ship.
That was some kind of a show
a spectacular in itself with things a glow.
Now many sights we did see–
like 2 parrots flying to their masters as pretty as can be.
we went to a Race Rock Cafe where cars hung free-
luckily!
so we celebrated at a restaurant
with cars in air
All good things do come to an end
I had to get back home with my friend.
A baby was crying on the plane
now my birthday was that very day.
That little incident made my trip
I should put into a strip.

James The Interesting Cat – Poem by Suzae Chevalier
James Venable of Black Door Films
James is his name and video is his game
he makes funny videos that are off the chain.
He admires all musicians from recent to past
like pianist Beethoven and Miles Davis’s original jazz.
James is a musician himself in his studio he has instruments.
Yes, masks that are totally cool, but his drums are original too.
Both have an African feel, even an island décor that is seems surreal.
James is from New York and wears a lot of bling
he wears a hat with sunglasses which is favorite thing.
He looks like a cool cat that has seen it all
especially in NYC where he was on the ball.
For he shot interesting photos for a famous magazine
he shot video interesting but clean.
James has a kind heart for he photographed me for free
at an Indian clothing store owned by John A. Rooney.
Thanks James for believing in the artist in me
and all the children you inspire and teach.
I forgot to tell you, my cousin really like the
wood airplane that was his favorite gift.

Spontaneous Photographer Allen Scwartz by Suzae Chevalier
Photographer Allen Schwartz
Click, click Allen’s camera goes
he clicks away as I pose…
At the Hazelden Art Show
I had on display my inspirational poems.
Allen interviewed me back in 1999
he asked me about my books I was working on at the time.
Allen invited me down to the Sunshine state
he introduced me to artist at the ‘Hut’ which was great!
introducing me to artists like Alan, Jack Barry and Harry
Allen took photographs of party very merry!
Allen recorded me one day in the quaint Lake Worth town
with artist Harvey who had fun going around.
Allen then had dark hair with a new style-
I found this photograph of him and it brought me a smile.
I just saw Allen on Thanksgiving this year
Allen again who was full of good cheer.
Thanks Allen for being a friend with a playful soul-
I look forward to more of your fun photos that glow!
Baby Airplane 2000 by Suzae Chevalier
Flying back from Vegas in 2000 with my friend Ev
I was seating on the airplane I met a new friend.
She was a little girl who was crying and sad
I gave her a toy –
She became happy and glad.
She smiled while holding toy real tight
She didn’t want to let go she held on with her might
I had to tell her toy needed to go beddy bye…
She looked like she understood and gave back toy
With a smile.

Northwood Tree by Suzae Chevalier
The year was 2017
I was painting in Northwood West Palm
painting outside on street
I painted clouds and a tree.
Group painted all day
we kept painting till storm went away.
Stopped in Toys R Us–
great results of fellow painters galore.
All paintings will be in art show some day
I will put my artwork on suzae.

Loyalty To Mary by Suzae Chevalier
Mary Villa, Angie and me at my 19th birthday in Cottage Grove, MN. It was 89 degrees that day and Reagan was in office. That was 30 years ago.
I get a call on my home phone
It is Mary asking me to come along.
She says to meet her at the bowling alley
She’s pregnant and really needs me.
I hop on a bus with bag for one
not realizing my adventure had just begun.
We stayed in an abandoned
building that very night,
We went through the
broken window with all our might.
Now the very next day–
We eat chocolate at grocery store and Tarjay.
That’s French for Target if you didn’t know-
now I digress, let’s move once more.
Time goes on and things come to an end-
I have to go home and leave my best friend.
It was worth it all the while-
Helping a friend who would one day have a child.
She had her baby in the fall
I came to the hospital when she did call.
Baby was so cute, cute as can be
She was the first child of my friend Mary.
Helping Mary I never did regret
As a true friend my loyalty was met.
