Sunflower Alley
36 page soft-cover book of poetry and pix of my sunflower paintings: 6"h x 8"w
My Backyard Sauna
It’s a sunflower sauna
and my flora and fauna
are toasting and roasting
there’s even some boasting
“Oh back in the day
in Savannah, I’d say
twas a’ hundred and three
under a shady oak tree
I, not a sunflower, just a seed
don’t ya see
had a great aching need
to flee to PA
where I hoped to someday
Join the sunflower parade
as a backyard summer guest
at BB’s Sunflower Fest”
well, that was my quest
now I’m part of the crew
it’s really hot here too
so we’re toweling as we’re growling
Shoulda moved to Kalamazoo

I am going to have to check out your book, Bertie. What a wonderful idea!
I always admire your sunflowers. You should toot one of the horns you painted for such a great book!
I am putting together a book with Blurb. Who are you using? Looks great so far!
PS on your comment about my Cutthroat Trout painting. The man who was displaying the trout - Catch and Releases only. Most trout fly fishermen, only catch and release. Trout unlimited is an organization of trout fishermen, who are concerned with keep in and improving our streams, rivers, etc and increasing the trout population. The fisherman who was showing the Westslope Cutthroat that I painted is helping bring back that species.
the book was done through my Apple I-photo program as I could not figure out the Blurb program without help...I couldn't easily change page layouts to fit my poems and sunflower pix..so I just had a few Mac Books printed to take to an art show I'm doing next week. After that, I may be able to get my computer guru to help me set up a Blurb book, which would be great 'cause then I would have a (?)widget(?) of the book....is that correct??
Bertie, I love every one of your sunflower paintings. Also, love the poetry. I'm always in awe of anyone who can write poetry.
Wow! Beautiful, Bertie!
I would love to see your book Bertie. This post is wonderful.
