Com-Posers Soon Over Watercolors by Bertie Brown

Com-Posers

original watercolor sunflowers: 9" x 12"

this world’s a porcupine

all sharp quills, sticking out

prickly, defensive

voices raised in deafening shouts

no generosity
nor compromise
just hyper right-eousity
we're crumbling from the inside -
PLEASE lets all push the hatred out……..

The Music Room Watercolors by Bertie Brown

The Music Room

original drawing w/horn, mutes, music stand: 8" x 10"

Can you hear me now?

from dimples to pimples to wrinkles 

and then

those once hard won triumphs

are insults instead

there’s coming of age

finding the way

and fam'ly and playing

and later creating

it’s boasting

then coasting

and loss once again

can You hear me, i said

i’m no longer fit 

to see, hear or be

oh, just let me sit

can You hear me, i plead

when it feels said and done

those battles hard won

were most of the fun

now it’s coming undone

can You hear me, i fear

that You can’t, that’s okay

’twas only a day

among so many years

De Com-Poser Watercolors by Bertie Brown

De Com-Poser

original watercolor sunflower: 6" x 8"

 The Alley Rally

my golden girls 

have gathered to rally

around my backyard 

sunflower alley

bending down to admire

all the work they inspired

“ooh yes, i see

that one looks like me!”

they nod and agree

in total unity

“remember back in the day

we had our young

and frivolous ways

we listened to bee-bop

while catching sun-drops

 "those were the days, my friend

we thought they'd never end”

Com-Posers Remnants Watercolors by Bertie Brown

Com-Poser Remnants

original watercolor sunflowers: 10" x 14"

summer is waning

i do hate to say

it wasn’t the best-est

in many a way

oh, some days were great

clear skies to the moon

the sun dripping rays

sunflowers in bloom

but some days were WET

with water drenched air

rain forest-y, yes

oppressive, you bet

still…summer’s the time

when memories shine

and life seems a bit 

more civilized, kind

Sophie Watercolors by Bertie Brown

Sophie

original watercolor portrait: 8" x 10"

Sophie and Me

I remember the day

when Sophie was a babe

I imagined that we'd

be best friends indeed 

she’d be seven, maybe eight

and I‘d be... 

well, older, you see

on an ordinary day

I saw us this way:

painting trumpets

horns and ‘bones

with bright colors

hues and tones

wearing paint stained artsy shirts

laughing while we did our work

eating crumpets

drinking tea

dressing dollies in pink jeans

we’d sing and laugh a lot

have long talks

as we walked

while my poems said all that

Sophie grew and that’s a fact

now we really have those talks

as we take our little walks

and we really paint and draw

thats what we like most of all

and we def’nitely agree

BFFs, we’ll always be!

Shack Attack Plein Air Watercolors by Bertie Brown

Shack Attack

original en plein air watercolor w/shack: 10" x 15"

Harmo-nious Perso-nious

went out for a run 

this very fine day

had lots to be done

stuff that gets in the way

of some fun in the sun

but nature’s libretto

called out ceremo-nious

in pleasing vibrato

a sound tremolo-nious

twas something I sought to

experience in perso-nious

and when I got done

on this very fine day

from my run in the sun

I was all tuned up and completely harmo-nious
