This is a drawing based on the picture of a lake with mountains in the background and the crescent moon reflecting into the lake, with a shooting star above the owl. The owl is cut out from another picture and taped on to this picture. It’s one of my favorites, because of the owl, the different levels of shading, and just everything about this picture I love. It represents my love of nature.

South Texas College Collage-The Heart of Me
This was drawn back in 2010 in my drawing class, when I was going to college down here in South Texas. On the right, is the collage of pictures that the collage drawing is based on. It’s called “The Heart of Me” because they’re all things that represent me or are a part of me in some way. I had so much fun drawing this. My professor said he had never seen a drawing be so crowded, but so neat. It’s so neat because the borders of each picture are drawn dark and precise. There are some parts of the collage that are more my favorite than other parts. My favorites are the horse in the upper left hand corner, the owl scene in the lower right hand corner, the big tiger in the top center, and the sunlight in the center of the picture. (I was also working on drawing it outside of class). And so here are the parts of the collage.
The Animals’ Magic of Life
Another 2008 poem about nature.
The Animals’ Magic of Life:
The sun sets in—letting the moon come awake,
The sunrise comes about—the moon leaves her home,
The animals awake from their deep slumber—coming forth from their dwellings,
They chirrup and yawn and make their own special noises as they rise with the sun,
They scamper here and there—throughout the meadows and prairies—through the trees,
They spread their magic of life everywhere,
The animals rise with the sun,
They settle in with its setting,
And so another day goes by,
Their magic disappears with the coming darkness,
No light of their magic of life shows in the darkness,
It hides itself—fearful of the darkness—and scared without the light.
Wolf
From several years ago, before I got my wolf-arrow-inner strength tattoo. I’ve always loved wolves. I think they’re gorgeous creatures and they’re also one of my animal totems.
Wolf:
I howl at the moon—white light streaming down to illuminate me,
Black eyes glow golden in the white light,
Gray fur glistens silver—sparkles like many diamonds,
Fierce eyes are laid upon you—a warrior’s eyes,
Arrayed in armor of gray fur glistening silver,
I stand before you,
I howl to you,
I call to the moon,
To have her show me the way,
The warrior’s way—fierce, proud, brave, protector of all,
I come to you in your dreams—my howl driving away the evil spirits,
So that beauty once again shows herself to all,
Her light healing,
And then giving way to night once again,
And so I howl at the moon once again,
My black eyes glowing golden.
The World of Stars and Moon
This is from several years ago. It’s one of my favorite fantasy poems. I’d been reading a lot of fantasy books at that time, so that’s where the ideas for this poem came from.
The World of Stars and Moon:
The stars shine like diamonds,
The moon gleams silver,
The blackness of the night is a cloak veiling the earth in darkness,
The soft breeze rustles the branches on the tree—the leaves move against each other,
A soft swishing noise coming forth from the dark abyss,
Golden eyes shine—they turn amber—then to topaz,
The eyes are jeweled—they drop out of the space of the night on to the leaf-strewn forest floor clinking together gently,
The stars shine like diamonds,
The moon gleams silver,
The blackness of the night is a cloak veiling the earth in darkness,
And all that is come to pass, will come to pass,
And all shall be well in the World of Stars and Moon.
