Anasquam Light, Gloucester, MA Watercolors by Bertie Brown

Anasquam Light

original watercolor seascape/ Annasquam Lighthouse, G;oucester, MA : 8" x 10"

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!

Lobsterman Lairs Rockport MA Watercolor by Bertie Brown

Rockport Reverie

original watercolor/Rockport, MA: 8" x 11"

Lobsterman Lairs

original watercolor marine seascape/Rockport MA: 12" x 12"

Lobsterman Lairs

Line historic Bearskin Neck

Quaint little shacks

 Where lobstermen store their wares

Buoys, nets, ropes

And traps are stacked there

It’s a place you should know

And if you do go

Let me show you around

‘Cause I love Cape Ann’s towns...

Morning Glory Motif #1 Seascape Watercolors by Bertie Brown

Morning Glory/Motif #1

original watercolor/Motif  #1, Rockport, MA: 11" x 8"

Buoy Joy

Buoys will be buoys

In all shapes and sizes

Just like us girls

Despite our disguises

Buoys are like boxers

Ducking and weaving

Treading ocean waters

With strong currents heaving

The stripes that they wear

Go round and around

They look quite rotund

 But they don’t much care

They do a sun dance

Giving tides not a glance

They’re anchored from below

And they won’t let go

They do their job joyously

Behaving so buoy-ishly!

Rockport Rhapsody Rockport, MA Watercolors by Daily Painter Bertie Brown

Rockport Rhapsody

original watercolor seascape/Rockport, MA: 11" x 7"

Lobsterman Shacks

Floats, traps

Lobsterman snacks

Ropes, tacks

Fishing knick-knacks

Boots, slickers

Lobsterman knickers

I bet there’s a place 

For trusty duct tape

And WD 40

They’ve got it, surely

All this and more

Behind windows and doors

Filling crannies and nooks

And hanging on hooks

So remember this stuff 

When you’re all in a huff

As you pay lots of bucks

For that Lobster you thought

cost way too darn much

At the boat dock co-op!

My Motif #1

Rockport Fever

Sophie and I 

Are planning a trip

To Gloucester and Rockport 

And, yes, Bearskin Neck

We’ll gaze at the ocean

Climb over the rocks

Paint Motif Number One

At the edge of the docks

We’ll dip our big toe

In the cold ocean water

Go swimming???

Are you kidding

It’s gotta get hotter

We’ll head to Pigeon Cove

Walk the breakwater high above

Then buy fresh lobster

At the Co-op down below

With more things to do 

More scenes to be viewed

We’ll need much more time

Than the plan we designed

So we’re savin’ our pennies

Our nickels and dimes

(We know it’s not much

But we’re tryin’ to rhyme)

For our piece of the Rock

Or a spot on the dock

Of Rockport’s scenic town

The best place we’ve found......

Sophie’s Rockport

floats, boats

fisherman totes

nets, tack

Lobsterman shacks

is any place better?

where’s BB, I’ll ask

and BB asked me 

Sophie,

what do you see?

steadfast granite rocks

weathered wooden docks

frigid north atlantic

boisterous, frantic...

and Sophie my dear

what do you hear?

cormorants and gulls

a cacophony of calls

tides singing songs

of the sea all  day long...

though I am just a novice,

BB, 

I’ve got it!

sturdy framed homes

granite popple stones

smooth and polished

by their beach bathing frolics

buoys with bright stripes

dancing in the light

and motif #1

standing proud in the sun

saluting seafarers 

both living and gone

yep, BB and me

 we both agree

Rockport by the sea

is the best place to be!
