Piper Pet Portrait Watercolors by Bertie Brown

Piper

original watercolor pet portrait: 8" x 10

 twas the night before “Stella”

and all through the land

the creatures were shopping

buying milk, bread and spam

the forecast rang true

that nor’easter barreled through

and those inches of snow

gave us all lots to do

so today as I search

for some good stuff to eat

finding bread, milk and ‘meat’

doesn’t sound like a treat

so the next time they cry

“Snowstorm’s Comin’ ”, i’ll buy

donuts, popcorn, french fries

 sparkling wine and moon pies….

to live in peace and harmony

will benefit us all, you see

YOWZA

2000-twenty

has just gotta be

the WORSTest indeed

with no end it seems

so I gotta say

it's gettin' to be

depressin' for me

i bet you'd agree

there's nothin i'm see-in

that gives hope or reason

to think this plagued season

is gonna be leavin

it's certainly sure

there's more to endure

so maybe I’ll just

hide out for a bit

and paint what i see

for a so-slight reprieve

Baxter Pet Portrait Watercolors by Bertie Brown

Baxter 

original watercolor pet portrait: 9" x 12"

my sunflower deli

has at long last closed

the frailty of my girls

is sadly exposed 

gone are the bonnets

framing their face

like Emily’s sonnets

they’ve fallen from grace

their once dripping nectar

has all been drawn

their glorious beauty

vanished, gone

the busy bumble bees

have packed their suitcases

backpacking butterflies

have flown to new places

has anyone noticed

those feisty goldfinches

have suddenly fled

good riddance, you grinches!

so farewell, Golden Girls

of this i am certain

it’s that time of year

to draw summer’s curtain....

SmittenKitten Pet Portrait Watercolors by Bertie Brown

SmittenKitten

original watercolor pet portrait: 9" x 12"

a summer time stance

that time to relax

glance forward, just a bit

but never look back…

flowers in bloom

sweet scents of seduction

flirty fireflies wink

quick bursts of combustion

warm summer nights

a cashmere caress

sun-drenched daylight

cool linen, dazzling white

 'tis summer’s sun-dance

a waltz that won’t last

but join me per-chance

before autumn’s cast

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..

The Grover Dude Pet Portraits by Bertie Brown

The Grover Dude

original watercolor pet portrait: 9" x 12"

Alliance Compliance

O Molly Marie

you silly cat

you really think that

a curly black dog

could take your place

with his cute happy face

oh, he doesn’t bite

nor put up a fight

but is amiable, quite

the opposite of you

when you don’t approve

of the things that I do

so do not be jealous

as you can see

it’s merely a painting 

of  Grover Curly

...artwork compliances 

not broken alliances...

Doogie Pet Portrait Watercolors by Bertie Brown

Doogie

original pet portrait: 7" x 10

Sophie and I know

that sometimes it’s best

to simply allow

a painting to rest

it may not be done

though there are intense

and beautiful hues

that seem to make sense

we want to be sure

we have to confess

that this work secures

it’s soulful-ishness

Summer Blues Cruise

there’s plenty to do 

in summer it’s true

but sometimes I must

simply adjust

my take on all work

and shirk all that work

take time to relax

look forward, think back

embrace solitude

consider my ‘tude

it’s summertime blues

let's enjoy the cruise
