Fine Whine

my sister says

you are gonna get it

my sister says

 you get a weather credit

my sister says

when this winter has been bedded

and the spring is this way headed

it will be so fine

the temps so kind you’ll  renounce all your whine...

Play Away

it’s really okay

to chill out and play

we all know we should

that is understood

but still we forget

and totally get

ourselves in fun debt

we think if we could 

buy us some fun

then surely we would 

feel wonderf’ly good

Spring Musical

oh spring

is the thing

we hope for in November

long for in December

lose in January

right through February

cry for in March

die for in April

can’t wait one more day

for the merry month of May

and still cold temps cling

to every bloomin’ thing!

so when the month of June

bursts suddenly into view

I look around and smile

PLEASE stay with me awhile

Apple Stack Watercolors by Bertie Brown

Apple Stack

original watercolor still life w/apples: 5" x 7"

What, Ho

it’s FREEZIN’ outside

‘cause what is it now

‘bout 20 below??

we don’t have enough

closets of coats

to keep out the chill

of this winter’s huff

and wind, I declare

is pushin’ the bounds

of stayin’ beyond

good manners, I swear!

so Sophie and I

surrender, okay?

we’re takin’ a break

from runnin’ out there.....

yet maybe there’s hope 

the temps just might rise

the winds could depart

we’ll put on our shoes 

and lay down some smoke!

It’s Me That You See

Sophie was curious

And, oh so serious

“BB,” she inquired

“When you are inspired

How long does it take

You to draw and paint

A bright pretty picture

A special scene captured?”

“Well Sophie, my muse

You’re here with me, too

So you do have some clues

Regarding all that I do

But I’ll answer quite simply:

A painting takes distinctly

As long as it seems

That I have been me

And it’s me in those paintings,

If you look closely, you’ll see.”

I say that emphatically

And slightly dramatically!

good heavens

it’s twenty past eleven

where did the day go

i just want to know

'twas over so quick

i'd no time to think

of descriptive words

to 'splain the pictures

my paintings need poems

either long or abrupt

so please don’t interrupt

until i'm caught up

Winter Blues

oh, how I long for June or July

with summer sunshine

and butterflies passing by

this season of cold 

has taken it’s hold

with sonw storms assailin'

and harsh winds now wailin’

so i'm getting set,

though it’s hard not to fret,

for a long winter's nap

 blankets piled on my lap
