Com-Poser in Red Watercolors by Bertie Brown

Com-Posers

original watercolor sunflowers: 11" x 15"

Adagio Dance...

It’s a scorcher today

With intensive sun rays

 My sunflowers have stopped 

Their jitterbug hop

Choosing caution instead

With a rest in their bed

But before they retire

They’re feeling inspired

By their many dine-ees

To try if by chance

The Adagio Dance

They sway with the breeze

Take two steps, then three

Twirl and lift up their leaves

Bid the finches and bees

Come feast on our seeds

Sip nectar if they please

It’s a slow dance, you see

For the birdies and bees 

Those flighty dine-ees

And admiring garden-ees

Sophie and me!

Relativity Watercolors by Bertie Brown

Relativity

original watercolor still life w/horns, shells: 15" x 15"

Theory of Relativity

Sophie says, gee

what could these be

horns of brass, three

and shells from the sea
I wonder if these
by someone’s theory
are relatively
related..could be
‘cause I’ve heard, you see
long tones played with ease
on whelk and conch shells
by my own BB!
so here’s what I think
those brass instruments
were invented right quick
‘cause a Mozart soloist
needed less sand, more lip!

Convening Com-Posers Watercolors by Bertie Brown

Swill at The Sunflower Saloon

 Would you all know

If you do, just say so

What you possibly think

Could be in that drink

My Sunflower Saloon

Is serving at noon?

It seems to me

From what I see

After drinking their fill

Of sunflower swill

 Are tipsy bumble bees

And drunken butterflies

And finches on trips

of loops, dips and flips

As they try to fly

The straight narrow line

To their homes and hives...

Oh I have a hunch 

It’s not Kool-Aid punch

That beckons this bunch

To come enjoy lunch!

Curious Com-Posers Watercolors by Bertie Brown

Curious Com-Posers

original watercolor sunflowers: 15" x 15"

Curiosity

curiouser and curiouser

it seems to me

this summer’s the bomb

at flirting, you see

‘cause just when you feel

a cool  weightless breeze

a sun so friendly

you’re relaxin’ indeed

a thick hulking cloud 

of hu-MID-ity

descends with a shout

and spreads itself out

oh yes there’s the rub

to summer time fun

those idyllic days

come quickly undone....

summer solstice

‘tis mid-summer to soon

what happened to June?

and July’s on the run

yet it’s hardly begun!

i don’t know about you

but I’m gonna assume

you’re distraught just like me

‘cause we love summer’s ease

i’m thinking we might

have to put up a fight

so when summertime ends

let’s begin it again

The Belly Deli

The Girls are back

Dressed in Gold and black

In my backyard Belly Deli

Confessing Com-Posers Watercolors by Bertie Brown

Confessiing Com-Posers

original watercolor sunflowers: 14" x 15"

Finch Flies

oh, the finches frenzied flight

simply a stunning yet silly sight

their path a series of dips and scoops

lofty lifts and lyrical loops

all the while holdin’

their scrumptious find

the seeds that they’ve stolen

from your sunflowers and mine...
