Performance Poems
Palm Beach Improv by Suzae Chevalier
Melodie adores Stevie D
she compliments his style of dress to a T.
She has the memory of going to City Place
Stevie goes on the Improv comedy stage
Stevie does comedy and entertains.
Melodie laughs with Jimmy Dean-
it’s a funny act but not very clean!
Then Jimmy is next to go on stage
his act is funny it’s all the rage.
Melodie laughs at comic Jimmy Dean-
it is one funniest acts she has seen!
Melodie is next–
she is with Razel puppet and me.
Lighters light up in the air
wild whistling everywhere
Razel yells without a care
“You know why I have no pupils?”
right before Melodie can jump in-
Razel has finished her line with her evil grin.
People are shocked and don’t know what to say
they were roasted by an evil puppet
who laughs away.
Lights go out and Razel starts to shout
I bow with the girls before I walk out.
What a time in 2005
where the Improv Stage comes alive.
Sharing the stage with Stevie D, Jimmy–
Razel puppet and Melodie!

Robert Santiago Likes My Act…Candice West Photographs
Comedy Cruise Lines judges had eyes on me–
performing with only me.
Miami Herald photographer Candice West
took photo that was in color, not like the rest.
Interviewed by the Miami Herald that day
Robert Santiago to see what I had to say.
At the Improve Comedy Club in the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel
I got to make the judges laugh and did quite well.
I told Robert, “I live my life on the edge–
I look forward to this” Enough said.
Robert Santiago emailed me later that day–
said “You are off the chain–
Thanks Robert, improv is what I do–
my act never the same!

LAKE WORTH LIBRARY READING
Sun shining brightly in the sky
Jim is watching with keen eye.
For he notices props set up for audience to see
used in “Sarah’s Special Birthday” reading.
Palm Beach photographer shows up soon
taking photos at high noon.
Children wear costumes with wands in hand
bringing magic to Krendoll land.
Melodie pops out of box
she is happy with no socks.
Now Razel doesn’t show her face
Happy story — she has no place.
Then UniCandle unicorn lights the cake
making children anticipate–
for there is magic in the air–
will Sarah Star receive her present
with moon beam glare?
Happy ending does unfold
Sue Chevalier the storyteller just had told
A rhyming poem with characters with special powers
This all happened within an hour.
Books where signed on the spot
along with photos that where shot
to capture the happy memories
of this day in Lake Worth city.

THE LAKE WORTH HERALD
Suzae poses for Lake Worth library reading at Lake Worth Annex. Photo in Lake Worth Herald 2006.
The Lake Worth Herald records events in Lake Worth town
Mark Easton works hard making sure Lake Worth Herald paper gets out.
It’s Wednesday afternoon and the printing press is running
all of Mark’s stories are real life, serious and also funny.
The Lake Worth Library had an article on me
I would be doing a reading by the Lake Worth library.
It was November 2006 and I was on Lake Worth Herald’s cover page
sitting on birthday chair where children celebrate their age.
Lake Worth Herald is printing my new poetry book
-the one you are reading- soon also on the Nook.
Mark was gracious and helped get my book right
he is friendly and easy to work
editing my book to make it out of sight!

WE NEED TO TAKE BACK THE SPIRITUAL LAND
Suzae Big Bear Lake
We need to take back the land
WE have the upper hand.
We have power and authority in
Jesus Christ—
Its not a game of chance like
A roll of the dice.
No- we are to have dominion of the earth
We had it once God gave us birth-
We just need to grab it by the horns
Say to Jesus, please forgive me—
I have sinned since I was born.
Our yokes are broken and we are
Not a slave to sin—
We are a new creature
With Jesus Christ we can win
Win over the enemy and
Take back the land—
We have victory already
For Jesus paid the price
He bought us through His blood
We should Thank Him more
Than twice-
but everyday
When we get up and go to sleep
For He loves us as His creation
And His Word is a mystery which is deep.
