Roses are red,

Violets are blue,

This poem sucks,

But hey, I love you.

“The tree which moves some to tears of joy is in the eyes of others only a green thing that stands in the way. Some see nature all ridicule and deformity... and some scarce see nature at all. But to the eyes of the man of imagination, nature is imagination itself.”

-William Blake

Local Indianapolis folks- be sure to stop by the Monon Coffee Co. this month for my solo show, "Trees of Indianapolis" where you can see this painting live and in person!

Nature's first green is gold,
Her hardest hue to hold.
Her early leaf's a flower;
But only so an hour.
Then leaf subsides to leaf.
So Eden sank to grief,
So dawn goes down to day.
Nothing gold can stay.

-Robert Frost
