Good Vibrations

i love the way

on a late august day

 the sun reaches down

to gather around

my sunflower girls

with their gold-yellow curls

and their skirts made of leaves

that sway in the breeze...

the birds of the air

and the insects working there

create a vibration

a vibrato celebration

as they all harmonize

their praise to the skies...

i’m thankful to be

by this shimmering sea

and grateful to hear

this music of the spheres

Rooster Cogburn Watercolors by Bertie Brown

Rooster Cogburn

original watercolor rooster: 8" x 10"

There once lived a Rooster Cogburn

who watched o're his brood with concern

He crowed all awake

Drank cafe au lait

And never an egg did he break

Chicken Tricks

You cannot be chicken

If you play french horn

Unless you are thinkin’

You’d like a good lickin’

When that horn does balk

Sounding out a loud squawk

And Beethoven rolls over

As you shrug your shoulder

Rooster Blues Watercolors by Bertie Brown

Rooster Blues

original watercolor rooster: 7" x 10"

Seems I’ve lost my way

and there’s nothing to say

and there’s no one to blame

still I bear no shame

I gave it my best

shot, I NEVER do less

though I would suggest

and surely have guessed

some kind of success

by now I confess

still I’ve no regrets

‘cause I’m gonna bet

having lived through the test

‘twas as good as it gets
