I’ve not done any seascapes and so I decided I needed to practice. Here is my first attempt in oil pastels from a photo.

The Rival
©2012 Mollie Pearce McKibbon
Oh, Mim has been my sweetheart
For most of all my days,
Since junior kindergarten
When I saw her winning ways.
We married, had three children,
A mortgage, house and car
And always have been faithful,
For that is how we are.
*******
But lately I’ve been wondering
If I’ve been losing ground,
Because whenever I come home
There’s someone else around.
Oh Mim, I know still loves me
In the same dear way she will
However, constantly she talks
Of nothing more than Bill.
********
She keeps every memento
That comes from her dear Bill,
A scribbled note he sends her
Gives her the greatest thrill.
I know that I am jealous
And perhaps I should protest
That all his flower bouquets
Are in our Bible pressed.
***********
They often go out walking
And never tell me where.
Sometimes I see them talking.
Telling secrets they don’t share.
I guess that I should understand
That my Mim’s heart he’s won,
Be a man and step aside
For our very first grandson.
Here is another bit of poetry I once wrote for spring.
An Ode to the Breeze
©2011 Mollie Pearce McKibbon
There’s nothing more delightful
Than a fresh spring breeze
As it ruffles through my tresses
And tickles cross my knees.
**************
Oh my, the wind is blowing
The branches of the trees
And it’s spreading lots of pollen
Causing me to sneeze.
***************
The wind has started howling,
Blowing hats and scarves to sea.
It’s taken my umbrella
Creating textile designs, prints and surface patterns for fashion, accessories, furnishing, homeware, logos, stationery, packaging, theatre and art
