Com-Posers Sunflower Watercolors by Bertie Brown

Com-Posers

original watercolor sunflowers: top 15" x 17"

Finch Flies

oh, the finches frenzied flight

simply a stunning yet silly sight

their path a series of dips and scoops

lofty lifts and lyrical loops

all the while holdin’

their scrumptious find

the seeds that they’ve stolen

from your sunflowers and mine…

Com-Posers Sunflower Watercolors by Bertie Brown

Com-Posers

original watercolor sunflowers: 9" x 12"

oh my girls

with their curls

gossip all the day long

giggles here

sniggles there

oh the secrets they share

‘she’s a lush’

then they blush

oh it’s all so unjust

when it comes 

to their chums

they tell all that they’ve done

so I must 

paint and just

let them gab without fuss

it’s in jest

I just bet

though I’ve got no proof yet…

 Would you all know

If you do, just say so

What you possibly think

Could be in that drink

My Sunflower Saloon

Serves each day at noon?

It just seems to me

From what I can see

After drinking their fill

Of sunflower swill

 Are tipsy bumble bees

Some drunken butterflies

And finches on trips

of loops, dips and flips

As they try to fly

The straight narrow line

To their homes and their hives...

Oh I have a hunch 

It’s not Kool-Aid punch

That beckons this bunch

To come enjoy lunch!

Posers in the Park

Here we come

Chargin’ to the park

we’re gonna get there real early

While it’s still pretty dark

Hey, hey we’re the ‘Posers’

We’ve got a lot of work yet to do

We have to sell ourselves all to you

So we better get hangin’

Ourselves in the Bertie Brown Booth!

Com-Posers Watercolor Sunflowers by Bertie Brown

Com-Posers

original watercolor w/sunflowers: 11" x 15"

Eminent Domain

is eminent domain

something finches disdain

as they each stake their claim

to my sunflowers’ fame

don’t they have a clue

I have etiquette rules

they routinely eschew

behaving so RUDE

I’d tell them to flee

‘cause they’re making a scene

and a mess at my feet

spitting shells from their beaks

but they are rather cute

in their black and gold suits

and their hollers and hoots

sound like piccolo flutes!

The Dynamic Duo Watercolors by Bertie Brown

 Lyrical Landscape

original watercolor landscape: 10" x 10"

Dynamic Duo

original watercolor w/Bride and Groom: 8" x 8"

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

Trump Plaza Musical Motif Watercolors by Bertie Brown

Trump Tower

original musical motif watercolor w/ trumpet, sunflowers: 11" x 15"

if the trumpet can’t solo

he just won’t play

he takes his music

and stomps away

with a high whining sigh

he slumps in his case..

are you like a trumpet

or do you behave?

Summer Solstice Landscape Watercolors by Bertie Brown

Summer Solstice

original watercolor landscape: 10" x 11" 

summer solstice

‘tis mid-summer to soon

what happened to June?

and July’s on the run

yet it’s hardly begun!

i don’t know about you

but I’m gonna assume

you’re distraught just like me

‘cause we love summer’s ease

i’m thinking we might

have to put up a fight

so when summertime ends

let’s begin it again

Motif by the Sea Seascape Watercolors by Bertie Brown

Motif By The Sea

original seascape watercolor/Motif #1: 12" x 12"

Motif #1

Floats, traps

Lobsterman snacks

Ropes, tacks

Fishing knick-knacks

Boots, slickers

Lobsterman knickers

WD 40

And duct tape, surely

All this and more

Behind windows and doors

Filling crannies and nooks

And hanging on hooks

So remember this stuff 

When you’re all in a huff

As you pay lots of bucks

For that Lobster you bought!

Com-Posers' Companion Watercolors by Bertie Brown

Com-Posers' Companion

original watercolor sunflowers/horn: 8" x 15"

Goldfinch Grinch

My sunflower girls

Never use my sunblock 

Nor do they apply

 Suntan lotion a lot

They’re naturally golden

Their brown faces boastin’

Their fearless devotion

To sunshine in motion

But there are some days

They have to confess

A shot of pest spray

Would be their best bet

For shoo-ing away 

Gold finches of prey

‘Cause finches 

Are Grinches

As they yank pull and splay

The petals and bonnets

My sunflowers boast

In my poems and sonnets

Why couldn’t they just

Gather seeds without fuss....
