For the ongoing 24Hands Printmakers' Group show scheduled to begin 5/2/26 at the Palm Harbor Library, I've created 4 new drypoint engravings on polycarbonate.  Each stars  a bird as central character.  Since this is a group show with uniform labeling, I'm unable to include my usual poems on the labels.  To circumvent this inconvenience, I'll provide the poems here although you'll need to further view the website to see the print images:

WHO? ME?

"Who? Me?" said the owl

When he wanted to screech

We don't hoot "who"

We use screeching for speech

But somehow he had managed to hoot

And embarrassed himself, the silly old coot.

WHO'S FIRST?

The chick pops out of broken shell

Looks around, says, "What the L "

An answer from you all I beg

Was I here first or was the egg?

JOE COOL IBIS

An ibis usually is white

And Joe Cool has a similar plight

Though looking no different than the rest

He made his abode a psychedelic nest

AT THE BRANCH OFFICE

Atop the oak sits big boss hawk

Below him working on the clock

Is the office staff, a careful bunch

Avoiding becoming the boss' lunch.
