Pepper Platter
original watercolor peppers/sunflowers: 10" x 14"
as summer reclines
in translucent honey haze
autumn comes alive
with transparent amber days
inky blue nights
fill infinite skies
cool winds collide
pushing summer aside
from translucent to transparent
these transitions are inherent
seasons come and they go
with their foibles quite apparent

Welcome Autumn
original bertie brown banner
with summer concludin'
my house is exudin'
a welcoming style
so do come on in
and visit awhile
I’ll put on some tunes
how’s Beethoven for you?
and we can create
our own unique view
with a banner or two

Sunny Soiree
original watercolor sunflowers: 10" x 15"
Good Vibrations
I love the way
on a late Autumn day
the sun reaches down
to gather around
my sunflower girls
with their gold-yellow curls
and their skirts made of leaves
swaying 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

Pepper-Azzi
original watercolor w/veggies, peppers: 10" x 15"
And the pepper said
to her buddies green 'n red
why can’t we simply try
to lay our views aside
let’s get along today
‘cause that’s the better way
to live in peace and harmony
will benefit us all, you see

Pepper Plaza
original watercolor veggies/peppers" 10" x 15"
Cold Front
The windows I’m closin’
my veggies need hosin’
it’s blisterin hot
not one cold spot
‘cept here in the store
by the frozen freezer door
where I pretend to stock up
on creamsicle pops
but truth to be told
it’s just good to feel cold!

Summer Stock
original watercolor veggies: 9" x 12"
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
