BunnyHop Watercolors by Bertie Brown

BunnyHop

original watercolor easter bunny: 7" x 10

remember in school

we learned the rule

that there were cliques

a specialty list

of kids way cool

though we were not fools

our own gene pools

just did not rule

we weren’t as blessed

our confidence less

we weren’t sure why 

and could not guess

bu niw this girl

with floppy ears curled

just knows she'd be

the bunnyhop queen!

Chic Chick Watercolors by Bertie Brown

Chic Chick

original watercolor quick sketch" : 10" x 10"

i think that it’s done

and i had some fun

‘though there a few 

solutions that skewed

my original view

and managed to be

surprising, you see

so if it’s not fit 

or off just a bit

ignore this small pic

of a cool sultry chic

March into Spring Watercolors by Bertie Brown

March into Spring

original watercolor still life w/sunflowers: 10" x 14"

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

and zealous fight-eousity
we're crumbling from the inside -
lets all push the discord out

The Landis Valley Museum Darkhorse Watercolors by Bertie Brown

LVM Darkhorse

yep, that's my painting in the middle of the '19 Landis Valley Museum Brochure!

now I got some press 

today by the way

and press is the best

on a COLD rainy day

and since it is March

this cold maybe may

take its cue and embark

on a trip far away

‘cause we’re all just done

with winter wonderlands

we yearn for warm sun

and beaches….and sand

March to Spring Sunflower Watercolors by bertie Brown

March to Spring

original watercolor still life with sunflowers: 10" x 14"

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

The Uker Watercolors by Bertie Brown

The Uker

original watercolor portrait: 6" x 8"

High Maintenance

what ho!

i just want to know

where did the years go

and my body….also

oh

   back in the day

i simply must say

hard work had a way

of  keeping at bay

those inches that stay

in places that…hey!

i don’t like today

i’m feeling betrayed

hence this, my tirade

i cannot evade

old age, i’m afraid

this is my refrain

you’re young…i’ll explain

the fact does remain

it’s HARD to maintain…

Winter Blues

oh, how i long for June or July

and summer sunshine

filling the sky

this season of cold 

continues it’s hold

with harsh winds awailin’

and snow flakes asailin’

this winter’s so long

it’s long in the tooth

let’s give it a shove

let’s give it the boot!

i’m sportin’ my mitties

and ear muffs indoors

wool sweaters and wristies

but still i need more

each year winter’s gittin’

too hard to endure

i should be just sittin'

on some southern shore

instead i’ve got blankets 

piled high on my lap

i'm so cozy in fact

i'll just take a nap..

today by the way

from this PA town

‘cause we’re all just done

with winter wonderlands

we yearn for WARM sun

and beaches….and sand
