The first art is a light green background with several black lines near the bottom of the card. The poem for January is in braille on the front of the card.
walking, I pause to watch
a sparrow wrestle a seed from the feeder
Success!
a black sunflower seed
in his beak
February 7
The picture is light pink and orange with a mat finish brush strokes visible. The colors are light to dark.
Settled
floor boards creak
aging, settling
like old bones
March art 7
the art is the cover from a bar of Lindt’s dark chocolate 85 percent coco Both Lynda and I share a love of this chocolate.
Poem 7
Last snow
In my little woods,
I see the outline of the dawn.
Hills and furrows, made by men.
Not the same as nature’s curves.
cozy homes for the birds.
Man looks, seeing empty space.
animals hide without a trace.
Mother Nature steals the show.
blanketed by fresh snow.
April’s 7
Cookie moon
The card has gold coin cover in shades of blues. It appears to be floating. The circle has green brown paint on one edge like a bite.
Cookie Moon
moon’s glow darkens
eerie quiet
bites,
disappearing

June 7th
colors of pink and orange
drift into green with bits of periwinkle.
Brush strokes create the image of motion.
June Poem 7
Windy
tree tops dance
petals blown off stems
birds stay put
one young turkey
leans into the wind
to climb steps
quiet descends with dusk
mouse scampers across rocks
July 7
The art was inspired by a raccoon caught in a security camera
Painting is black, purples and grays.
July 7
Night visitor
Out of the shadows,
He walks the wall
To the dark watery pool
It calls
inviting him
stepping in enjoys a long drink
The recording of this exchange will be availible in the near future on the Behind Our Eyes website.
