A Watercolor Moment

The deepest blue sky
overlooks the calm water;
people stop and stare
as a golden masterpiece
emerges from my paintbrush.

Beautiful tanka, George. The sun's reflection off the water does seem to cast a golden glow. Are you an artist? Best wishes for success in Rick's contest! Love, Carolyn
