Beaded Purse By Bertie Brown

BB Beaded Purse

a guest stint in music

did last but some time

i’ve got no regrets

no malice you’ll find

then creatively

art hap’ly found me

that work, challenging

i faced eagerly

but not only that

the best privilege yet

of grandie sitting

put me to the test

through all this and more

as listed before

the years and the tears

the struggles and fears

i did persevere

as onward i pressed

and did not forget

i was but a guest

Indian Summer Watercolors by Bertie Brown

Indian Summer

original watercolor landscape: 9" x 12"

what ho!

i’m gonna say this

gettin’ older is so

not tops on my list

seems there are some peeps

pollyannas and such   

who’ll tell you how sweet

it is, that’s a bunch    

of crap, oh ‘tis true

there are a few perks

please don’t misconstrue 

we work out, not work

and nap after noon

but projects, we seek

(we don’t need a ton)

‘cause we gotta get

our satisfaction

the losses that come

are harsh, that’s a fact

‘though denied by some,

i’ve got much less tact

so try if you can

to put off old age

‘cause footloose it seems

ain’t quite fancy free
