The Sunflower Saloon Sunflower Watercolors by Bertie Brown

The Sunflower Saloon

original watercolor sunflowers" 10" x 14"

Swill at The Sunflower Saloon

Would you all know

(If you do, say so)

What you possibly think

Could be in that drink

My Sunflower Saloon

Is serving at noon?

It seems to me

From what I see

After drinking their fill

Of sunflower swill

Are tipsy bumble bees

Drunken butterflies

And finches on trips

Of loops, dips and flips

As they valiantly try 

Somehow just to fly

A straight narrow line

To their homes and hives...

Oh I have a hunch 

It’s not Kool-Aid punch

That beckons this bunch

To come enjoy lunch!

Winter Blues

oh, how i long for June or July

and summer sunshine

filling the sky

this season of cold 

continues it's hold

with harsh winds a'keepin'

the temps around freezin'

this winter’s so long

it’s long in the tooth

let’s give it a shove

let’s give it the boot!

i’m still sportin' mitties

and ear muffs indoors

wool sweaters and wristies

but yet i need more

each year winter’s gittin’

too hard to endure

i should just be sittin'

on some southern shore

instead i’ve got blankets 

piled high on my lap

i’m ready, in fact

for a 'spring-forward' nap……

on some southern shore

instead i’ve got blankets 

piled high on my lap

i’m ready, in fact

for a mid-winter’s nap……

June Tune Watercolors by Bertie Brown

Play Away

it’s really okay

to chill out and play

we all know we should

(that is understood)

but still we forget

and totally get

ourselves in fun debt

we think if we could 

buy us some fun

then surely we would 

feel wonderf’ly good

Crimson Com-Poser Watercolors by Bertie Brown

Crimson Com-Poser

original watercolor sunflowers: 9" x 12"

Cavalier about Cheer

my sunflower girls 

have got to admit

they long for a world

where they could just sit

they’ve got but one shoe

though it’s a great fit

a minute without it

would help quite a bit

their long leggy-ness

can cause some back strain

a slight dizzy-ness

and dull aching pain

but stand there they do

displaying such cheer

for one month or two

this time of the year

it’s quite cavalier

and exhausting, I fear!

Posing with Com-Posers Watercolors by Berite Brown

Posing with Com-Posers

original watercolor pet portrait with sunflowers: 12" x 12"

Molly’s Folly

Molly works out

it’s plain to see

just look at that sleek

leg and furry knee

she stays in top shape

‘cause she knows it makes

her creative self soar

through the work she adores

drawing and painting and more

it’s never a chore!

The Reading Room

original watercolor w/reader, sunflowers: 7" x 9"

I’m betting that she

is related to me

reading her book

in her favorite nook

hour by hour

she and her flowers

watch hope and pray

for a warm sunny day
