personal poems
Mayan Friend by Suzae Chevalier
There once a Mayan friend named Carlos
who was real sweet he was very generous and upbeat.
He would call me the artist Suzae–
he has my book “Sarah’s Special Birthday”
He was a friend who helped me change my locks
he would come to see me a couple of blocks.
See my landlord entered my apartment without telling me
Carlos came to make sure I had safety.
In my standup act he was the Mayan character who cared-
Carlos saw the landlord stalking but the landlord was unaware.
Unaware Mayan friend was watching him spray–
spray water all over my front door that day.
Razel also mentioned you were there when the lights went out
Razel had a ball with that when she started to shout!
Carlos was there for me to make sure I was O.K.
Thank you Carlos for being my friend
you have supported me when no one else did.
I will dedicate the next children’s picture book to you
you will be the giraffe you liked that was painted blue.
Remember “Razel is evil-
but Melodie loves you…!”

Stylish Debra Ann by Suzae Chevalier
Lake Worth Street Painting Festival 2012 photo by Kim Sims
Debra Ann with her stylish green hat
knows how to dress, I can tell you that.
Debra Ann is a real friend that understands,
she is the Big Sis I never had- she is sweet I am glad
glad we met that one sunny day
at Mother Earth’s Coffee shop
back by the tables with owner Patte’.
Debra was a friend that made sure I was feed
she bought me groceries and didn’t care how much she spent.
We have fun dancing at the Cottage Sunday nights
we dance up a storm dancing to the beat just right.
She makes me smile just seeing her
she calls me Sunshine and I brighten her world.
You make me smile also Debra Ann,
remember Bible Study where we laughed and laughed?
We ate pizza, it was a fun time –it was a blast!
One day we will go clothes shopping and buy clothing with flair—
it will be a fun memory to share.
Thanks Anna for being a Big Sis and a friend
You bring you sunshine again and again!

Street Painting Festival 2011 by Suzae Chevalier
Street Painting Festival was a great success
painted castle scene I did express.
the painting ended swell
no one could tell.
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
many guys, but no soul mate.
Except Italian guy with tattooed arms
annoyed me to death 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
a pink flamingo that got into the
Palm Beach Post made me happy as can be!

CHARMING CHARLIE by Suzae Chevalier
Charlie who I call Carlos all the time
was a enduring friend that had an
interesting life.
He was loved by many and
he had a smile like sunshine.
I remember when I took him for a ride.…
A ride in my Mustang convertible
in the summer time.
He made sure I was feed and bought
me Burger King–
He was there at moments in my life
like a flower loves the spring.
He showed up always to make sure
I was alright–
He was friend who I put in my comedy
act at night.
He also called me Puppet Lady to the friends
downtown–
Lake Worth won’t be the same without him
around.
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.

Bora Bora 2005
In Bora Bora with baby girl.
In a taxi I did ride
having such a fun time.
It was Bora Bora the island
in the south.
It was such a fun time
without a doubt.
Driving with a guy who was really sweet
His friend was in the backseat.
Drove up the mountainside
ate mangoes and saw
skirts made with dye.
Then I did shop and buy
something that caught my eye.
Taxi driver did receive button of me
Same with people off the cruise ship
they video taped me taking water to
quench my thirst.
Then in airport go back to the states
I saw lady from pearl jewelry store
who recognized my face.
Recognized me from before
but couldn’t think of what for.
She’s sitting in the executive suite
thought I was sweet and as a treat
I could stay in Bora Bora for free.
Jewelry lady did finally realize
she saw me on the button
buttoned to dress of taxi guy
happy with all smiles and sunshine.

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.
