Sheepish Watercolors by Bertie Brown

Sheepish

at the end of The Day

I had but one thought

what happens to all

this work that I’ve wrought

‘twas always the best

of efforts i gave

my utmost, no less

and there was success

in music, of course

i’m wondering now

did it happen at all

if it did, then how??

i gratefully bow

to Mozart and Bach

i painted to them,

and Beethoven, a lot

but what happens next?

ditch the paper and paint?

get some needles and thread

sew something instead?

i’ve got time to fill

and miles to go

energy still

until, until....

Sheeple Watercolors by Bertie Brown

Sheeple

original watercolor sheep: 8" x 10"

Harmo-nious Perso-nious

went out for a run 

this very fine day

had lots to be done

stuff that gets in the way

of some fun in the sun

but nature’s libretto

called out ceremo-nious

in pleasing vibrato

a sound tremolo-nious

twas something I sought to

experience in perso-nious

and when I got done

on this very fine day

from my run in the sun

I was all tuned up and completely harmo-nious

The Dark Horse

original watercolor Landis Valley Museum Horse: 7" x 10"

haughty

that’s what

my grandie thought

the first time she viewed

the LVM crew
‘cause there they all stood
as only they could
their ears and nose high
and eyes open wide
now Sophie and I
know animals try
to brighten our days
with their friendly ways
not haughty, aloof
their faces, the proof
of good will, not fear
and welcoming cheer!
