The Manny Pet Portrait Watercolors by Bertie Brown

The Manny

original watercolor pet portrait: 8" x 10"

at this time of year

with spring drawing near

there's not enough wine, 

to pacify time

might winter decease,

desist or at least

call it a day

and just go away

I’m tryin’ to stay 

upbeat, by the way,

I paint quite a lot

in a warm sunny spot..

Laverne Squir'ley 

original watercolor squirrel: 8" x 10"

What ho! 

the winds they were screamin’

my house it was leanin’

right into the flow

of last night's COLD blow

my windows were bulgin’

the furnace was pulsin'

that nor’easter’s hold

was keepin’ me cold

my goosebumps I declare

had goosebumps I swear

my nose it was froze

to my icicled toes

Rudy RoseyNose Watercolors by Bertie Brown

Rudy RoseyNose

original watercolor pig: 8" x 10"

oh  his nose 

it IS bright

and his ears

they just might

be too

yes 'tis true

 but when it’s called art

real life can depart

and my point of view

might convince even you

that these things can be

acceptable, see?

Jakey's Kid Watercolors by Bertie Brown

Jakey's Kid

original watercolor goat: 8" x 10"

so this is the question

can i toss intention

and renounce all strife

at this stage of life?

could i if you please,

watch daytime tv

munch crackers and brie

sip long isle iced teas

would i do you see

be happy with ease?

seems i have this need

to keep busi-ly

and painting's the key

to a challenge indeed

Donkey Oaty Watercolors by Bertie Brown

Sherman

Donkey Oaty

original watercolor donkey: 8" x 10"

Curiosity

curiouser and curiouser

it seems to me

this autumn's the bomb

at flirting, you see

‘cause just when you feel

a cool weightless breeze

a sun so friendly

you’re simply at ease

some 90 plus temps

which should be exempt

come back with a shout

and knock us right out

oh yes there’s the rub

to early fall fun

those idyllic days

come quickly undone....
