Pic o' Pitchers & Pot Still Life Watercolors by Bertie Brown

Pic o' Pitchers & Pot

original watercolor still life w/pitchers, coffe pot: 15 1/2" x 17"

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 psycho-babbable

you’re so above reproachable

and also un-correctable

but that’s just irresponsible

and truly indefensible

we could be more sympatico

if you weren’t so emphatico

Autumn-ness Still Life Watercolors by Bertie Brown

Autumn-ness

original watercolor still life w/sunflowers, vintage pitchers: 9" x 12"

Ode to an Old Friend

what ho

where did the years go

we just can’t be fixed

here at decade #6

not young nor carefree

we must learn to see

determin-edly

through love-filtered lens

ourselves as OLD friends!

we’ve been through a lot

those flashes were hot!

but give in, we’re not

we’ve got some regrets

but that stuff’s no sweat

where once we had pimples

we’re now sporting wrinkles

our firm derrieres 

have gone off elsewheres

our chests and our chins?

they’ve sunk to our shins

and do you remember

well

can you recall

anything you need to

anything at all?

but still we can laugh

at some high school gaffe

and reminisce by the hours

the good, bad, ugly

while we sit and smugly

think we’ve now arrived

over 60, we’ve survived

and we’re not the faintest

nor least bit surprised...

Mamie's Plate Still Life Watercolors by Bertie Brown

                                                                   Mamie's Plate

original still life watercolor w/pitchers, plate:15" x18" 

Fancy Stance

original drawing w/sherbet glass, marbles:10" x 12"

cast all your cares

you must let them go

He wants to provide

His word says it’s so

but

if i do not learn

from my past mistakes

i thwart all the grace

and just run in place

yet

there is a rock

and a mercy seat

where grace is revealed

in humility

now

this cornerstone

it beckons to me

i bow myself down

and freely receive

The Blue Plate Special Stll Life Watercolors by Bertie Brown

The Blue Plate Special

original still life watercolor w/pitchers, plate, bottles: 11" x 12"

more treasures I find

as still I press on

will I get to an end

will it ever be done

dreams lurk in my mind 

every night as I rest

while days are task-filled

on this treasure filled quest

I know that in time

there’ll be a reward

a peace not soon spoken

but one that endures

Summer Bliss

My windows are open

Cool breezes are flowin’

My curtains are flirtin'

With the sill and the sash 

This is the way

A fine summer day

Ought always to be 

For two months or three....

Suites me perfectly

I bet you’d agree!
