Mozart and Me Watercolors by Bertie Brown

Mozart and Me

original watercolor composer/Mozart: 9" x 12"

more petite suites

of musical peeks

at composers, you see

‘cause they happen to be

a favorite theme

so theoretical-ly

what’s next just might be...

Beethoven and me!

Com-plaining Com-Posers Sunflower Watercolors by Bertie Brown

Com-plaining Com-posers

original watercolor sunflowers

 Grandmothers All 

  my vibrant sunflowers

 last week so spry

have bent down a bit

heaving a sigh

they hang down their leaves

it seems that they’re just

dry crumpled sheaves

turning to dust

there’s no use complaining

as they have no say

the season is changing

it’s all nature’s way

they lift up their chins

and give me a shrug

tighten their bonnets

with a sly little tug

my grandma sunflowers

will soon cease to be

I cherish those hours

they've shone down me

Portrait Watercolors by Bertie Brown

Pondering the Past

original watercolor portrait: 9" x 12"

just keep tryin’, you say

so that’s what I do

not cease and desist

that’s never the way...

to break through the fray

you gotta hang tough

and paint every day

talent’s just not enough

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!

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!
