Com-posers Sunflower Watercolors by Bertie Brown

Com-posers

original watercolor sunflowers: 9" x 12"

And So It Goes

Seems the sun’s in retreat 

Giving me the cold shoulder

Our summer’s romance

Is apparently over

Gone are the sundrops

Warming my face

Menacing shadows

Have taken their place

 Cobalt blue breezes 

Rustle about

Autumn is coming

Of that there’s no doubt

My sunflowers are ruined

Their beauty in tatters

Seeds, petals, leaves

Lie tossed about, scattered

I notice the dance

Of those spurious squirrels

As they snatch the remains

Of my golden sun girls

More quickly than ants

At a picnic, they advance

And I thought that finches

Were sunflower grinches!

Now I’m left all alone

With a dry, crumbling wall

Where my sunflowers had grown

Majestic and tall

But didn’t I hear

A whisper so clear

We’ll be back next year

With more summertime cheer!
