Small Time Art ~~ a Ditty

Reaching my Potential;  
Small time Art with Stickman style 

Stickman Art, reached my potential
Some are born with silver pallet
Beautiful hues in jars beside

That is a life I never knew
Born into share cropper family
A different life awaited me

With knees astride speckled pony
Friends were make believe, we would play
Corn fields and pastures nature's green

Yearning for those days departed
We are born with what we're to have
Make the best from there, Stickman Art

 - Today I'm linked with Hannah at  the Imaginary Garden with Real Toads

 - Hannah's theme there is Transforming with Nature's Wonders

 - She showed 'nature art' eg. a mandala made with seashells.  I reversed this idea with the commercial arrangements, first at McDonalds with a Balloon Bouquet, then a Cupcake Grouping I found in the Kroger Store bakery section.

 - You can click on the pictures to enlarge, probably they won't get any prettier.

 - The Stickman I designed back when I was in the first or second grade.  It was first published here on my blogs as my profile picture back in 2006 or so.

 - Stickman appears on all my posts on "Ask Dr. Jim (blog)" (link).  I have not updated that blog since March 20, 2015 but I have not given up.  When my time is not so precious I intend to resume posting there..

A Notebook Story -- a poem for Tuesday Platform

There was this lady. She was a fine Little Old
(ER) Lady, a LOL, training for my brain
She was someone's mother, someone's mother-in-law

I never saw this lady without her notebook
she and I were calling it her little black book
You may have been written there, I was in it well

She'd look you in the eye, write your name in her book
Chances are she didn't know your name, so she'd ask
Seems she and you or I were talking yesterday

Then she'd write what we were saying and where we were
Her written word would be her memory later
today or tomorrow.  Alzheimer's is awful

(May be continued another day--check here)
