Burnt Sienna

Muted colours,sienna and dark rose Lovely mauve and lilac please my eye Linen,silk or wool,I love my clothes I like to complement,I don’t oppose The colour wheel rotates as I go by Wearing colours,sienna and dark rose I like colour,all my neighbours know The “take” on natural fibres makes me high Linen,silk or wool,I love their glow If people gossip, this is not their show If I seem conceited, don’t make war Wearing colours,sienna and dark rose Now I’m in acrylic, what a blow Wool is hard to find, the sheep cry Baaaa I love, fabric, I love coloured clothes It matters not if I have burned a bra Seems a little mad, but there we are Muted colours,umber and dark rose Linen,silk or wool, the art of clothes

Passion of colours shows in your very fine villanelle that you have crafted Katherine. Enjoyed the emotions attached with them. Best. Mohan
