Bora Bora Button
Suzae in Bora Bora 2005
Riding in a taxi around the mountain side
I was in Bora Bora have a very fun time.
I was with an islander who wore
an island gown
we were being driven all around Bora Bora’s towns.
Taxi driver was sweet so I gave him a button that sparkled not glowed.
He wore on his dress to the Pearl Jewelry store,
the pearl jewelry owner remembered me
who she adored.
For we met her in the airports first class waiting room
she recognized me and when I sung a tune.
Jewelry store lady said “I saw you on a button when the
taxi driver came in—he was very happy to have met you both—
he is a true fan.”
One day I will go back and visit, I hope his button is holding up
if not I will give many more he can wear around to the shops.

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.

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!

Maria And Victoria Play Date by Suzae Chevalier
Victoria and Maria play date with me.
Excited to see me they waited anxiously by door
within minutes a make believe land was on the floor.
Maria hid bad toy right away, hiding her for the rest of the day.
Then of course Victoria would play
pretend games I do say.
Years later I would give a party for real
it would be Victoria’s birthday party in the Wisconsin hills.
I took photos to remember this time
A birthday celebration for Victoria
With sister Maria and friends that helped find
children had to find the treasures
Say “Happy Birthday to Victoria”
while she sat in birthday chair at last
I took photos to remember this time
A birthday celebration for Victoria
With sister Maria and friends that helped find
hidden crown that is divine.
Good things must come to an end
I packed up my props and said goodbye to dear friends.

He paints of a bright colorful fantasy land.
Characters painted with bright colors of red and yellow

.Also at the Lake Worth Street Painting Festival on the street
