Winter Blues
oh, how I long for June or July
with summer sunshine
and butterflies passing by
this season of cold
has taken it’s hold
with harsh winds now wailin’
seems the sun has gone sailin’
so I’m getting all set,
though it’s hard not to fret,
as blankets cover my lap
and I settle in
for a long mid-winter’s nap......

Merry Christmas from DonkeyOatie/DiCaprio 'n Calferine Hepburn
Sophie Says
what ho
I really want to know
who’s lying in that manger bed
with a stable roof o’er His head
and why are there reindeer
flying in the night sky
with a guy in a sleigh
following close behind
And
there’s a tree in our house
with packages strewn about
that I’m not s’posed to touch
and there seems to be such
a decorating fuss
it’s confusing, you know
for a two year old, so
I’ll just ask BB
I’m hoping that she
can explain it to me!

ReCow*citrant
original watercolor cows: 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 -
gotta keep democra-city

original watercolor NY cityscape: 12" x 16"
Practice makes better
But perfect?
Not ever...
Especially if painting
Is what you can do
You’ll prob’ly improve
But that’s questionable, too
My advice to you
Buy a BertieBrown or 2

Annisquam Light
original watercolor light on Cape Ann: 9" x 12"
Symphony in Sea Major
Lobster buoys afloat
Lighthouses as beacons
Decorating the coast
Sublime northern light
Enveloping the sights
While dancing on tides
Tossing boats and floats
From side to side
Cormorants and gulls
Line up on the rocks
By the boats, or the docks
As they noisily wait
For some leftover bait
Granite boulders endure
Protecting the shore
Applauding the sea
BRAVO!
What a glorious symphony! BB'22

original watercolor pheasants: 8" x 10"
It ain’t heavy
it’s my stuff
said the pheasant
in a huff!
but I think I know
that some things I must
get rid of without
too much of a fuss
tis 2022
which will totally be
what I make it, you see
good bad or ugly!

Vintage
original watercolor still life : 11" x 15"
an item of hers
a few of my own
some are just borrowed
I’ve got them on loan
those years, 92!
amazingly quick
filled every last nook
and cranny I think
and now as I sort
through the stuff she held dear
will I at long last
go joyfully, not fear?
it’s one out of one
that’s how it’s been done
since time has begun
it can’t be outrun
