Rhythm 'n Blues Watercolors by Bertie Brown

Rhythm 'n Blues

original watercolor still life w/lemon/apples: 12" 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

Valen-time Watercolors by Bertie Brown

Valen-Time

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

absolutely resolute

i’m absolutely certain

some truth is indisputable

and strictly put imputable

so don’t go all refutable

i don’t want your rebuttable 

that verbal hyper babbable

you’re so above reproachable

and also un-correctable

see that’s just irresponsible

and truly indefensible

we all could be sympatico

if y’all weren’t so emphatico

Bloom 'n Fruit

original watercolor still life w/lemon, oranges, apples, sunflowers: 10" x 14"

just keep tryin’, you say

so that’s what I do

not cease and desist

to break through the fray

you gotta hang tough

and paint every day

talent’s just not enough

Cold Play Watercolors by Bertie Brown

Cold Play

original watercolor still life w/sunflowers, apples. lemon: 10" x 14"

Sophie’s Sun Sack

remember back when

we played in the sun

yes summer was then

days so full of fun

and do you recall

you looked up to ask

could we pack it all

up tight in a sack

we’d store it away

then open that pack

on a cold winter’s day

for a sun bathing nap!

When Life Hands You Lemons Still Life Watercolors by Bertie Brown

When Life Hands You Lemons

original still life watercolor w/lemons, tea pot, bowl: 11" x 14"

curiouser and curiouser

it seems to me

this spring is the bomb

at flirting you see

‘cause just when you feel

a warm gentle breeze

a sun so friendly

you’re relaxin’ indeed

a cold front blows in

equipped with more snow

it spreads itself out

and i want to shout

oh yes there’s the rub

when springtime has come

those idyllic days

are quickly undone….
