just keep paintin', they say

so that’s what I do

And the onion said

to his buddies in the bed

why can’t we simply try

to lay our views aside

will benefit us all, you see

original watercolor onions: 9" x 12"

spring is a tease

don’t flatter her please

‘cause she’s such a flirt

in her onion sprout skirt

oh some days she’s warm

with cold winds ’n storms

so face it, we’re not friends

and i do wish she’d end

‘cause i’m in the mood

for a summer long June

oh spring

is the thing

we hope for in November

long for in December

lose in January

right through February

cry for in March

die for in April

can’t wait one more day

for the merry month of May

and still cold temps cling

to every bloomin’ thing!

so when the month of June

bursts suddenly into view

I’ll look around and smile

and bid stay with me awhile

the winds they are screamin’

my house it is leanin’

right into the flow

of this day's fierce blow

my windows are bulgin’

is keepin’ me cold

my goosebumps I declare

have goosebumps I swear

my nose it's so froze

to my icicled toes

SoleMates Watercolors by Bertie Brown

SoleMates

original watercolor boot/onions: 9" x 12"

and my point of view

might convince even you

that some things can be

true for both you and me

NeonNewYork New York Watercolors by Bertie Brown

NeonNewYork

original New York cityscape: 9" x 12"

it’s relative-ly

a new work, you see 

with something that’s old

a shape big and bold

and some that are new

with int’resting hues

borrowed from yet

a past series set

hmmm...

it’s deja vu

for those orange and blues!
