Smooth stones from the shores of northern Lake Michigan. Doodles from the shores of Wenikio's wandering mind.

Cloudy




Is he smiling or is he not?
That I do not know.
He does not seem to care a jot
Where the wind may blow.

Love Bird 2






Purple and blue with fanciful wings
His eye is on you, and so he brings
A symbol of his loyal love (the daisy)
In hopes you know he loves you like crazy!

Gnome Home





Home sweet Gnome Home,
Flower baskets wild.
Growing-out-of-loam home,
I saw it and I smiled.

Christmas Mandala




Teal and purple or shades of blues- 
I've something that must be said:
I don't subscribe to Christmas hues,
Beyond the green and red.
Red berries and mulled wine
For holiday cheer.
Green wreaths and tall pine
To finish the year!

Penguin





You seem sincere and nice enough
(and maybe you spoke true),
But Mr. Penguin isn't convinced
And wishes that he knew!

Altitude Sickness 2







"I feel a bit queasy," he was heard to say
At FL350 on a wintery day.
Altitude sickness can lead you to vomit-
Or in Mr. Cloud's case, a rainbow bright comet!

Happens to the best of us.
(But not usually so colorfully)

Licensed to Carry



Thunderfeet with those legs and claws
(I wouldn't like to meet him)
And jagged teeth in chomping jaws
(But comical little forelimb!)


Baby sheep... for when you just need a nap









When your mind is running and you can't sleep
The experts say to count some sheep
But when there's not much time (Errands! Exams!),
Maybe you should try to count some lambs.

Whales




I'm a little blue whale
(you've no doubt figured out)
Up to take a breather
(don't you see my spout?)

Starry Night Tent



Let's take a vacation! Fresh air! The views!
Mountain streams and muddy shoes!
Five stars, you say? Oh yes, and more! 
 Come on, let's go, just please don't snore!

Chocolate Moose With Sprinkles



I found a rock the other day,
 Shapely and broad without wrinkles.
Was thinking about dessert, then- hey!
Chocolate moose with sprinkles!

Mr. Moose's moonlit meander at midnight




Wading through the stars
Winter's moon lighting his path
Hooves on darkened path

Mardi Moose



There are no Moose in New Orleans
Or so they say, but so it seems
That Mardi Moose didn't get the note
'Cause here he comes to join your float!
So drape beads on his antlers and give him some throws
He's masked and ready- off he goes!

Merry Christmoose





The holly and the ivy are draped across the hearth
Mistletoe and cedar boughs welcome family through
While in the woods a star comes down, twinkling in its mirth
Moose is nearly finished here, one last bulb will do!

Brown Fall Mandala




Wet leaves fallen on damp earth
Fall's brilliant blue sky
The storm has passed now

Flowery dots 1


Imperfect flowers on an imperfect stem
On an imperfect rock
Against a perfectly blue sky


Christmas Hippo




What's that you say? It's only September?
Better hop to! Ninety days 'til December!
Mr. Hippo is ready for the holiday nights! 
Bah humbug to you! Let's string the lights!

Brown and Pink





Brown of the rich, damp soil
Blue of the high, domed sky
Pink of the peony in full bloom
Red of summer's festival of flowers
