Hollywood 1996 by Suzae Chevalier
I was with Chucky so dear. In L.A.
Saw “Independence Day” opening day
it was mother nature controlling humanity’s fate.
Only July 1st Margaux Hemmingway
had committed suicide–
it was from depression she could not hide.
I also ate at the famous restaurant “Spago” in Beverly Hills
close to Willshire Boulevard and it was a thrill.
I walked in wearing a short pink patterned jumpsuit
business agents turned around because I was too cute.
Chucky was there with me without a care
he knew all of them turned their heads to stare.
Everyone was dressed in suits with a tie
they all looked the same, I don’t know why.
Then off to movie Star’s mansions we traveled to see
it was really fun taking pictures for vacation memories.
I also took workshops on filmmaking in the day
it was very interesting I have to say.
I saw Angelica Houston for the first time–
We went to The Comedy Store
Richard Pryor performed in a wheelchair
his comedy routine–
He talked very dirty– his act was not very clean.
He said something only Chucky did understand-
it was about recovery–a quote that was grand.
Now I will always remember this trip for it is etched in my mind
Thank you Chucky for showing me a really good time.

NYC 2010 by Suzae Chevalier
Bora Bora Button
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
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 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.

Birthday Vacation 2000 by Suzae Chevalier
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.

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.
