Water Color Afternoon

Water Color Afternoon


It was a water color afternoon,

Gray blue skies, a soft yellow sun,

Even the breezes seemed to sing,

Enjoy your water color afternoon.


Blurred pink and white blossoms,

Shady walks of lilac and henna,

Far away jade and twilight green,

A loose balloon or two.


A quiet day, quiet colors that ran,

Ran with water spilled edges,

Shadowing evening birds 

While they filled with seed for roosting.


Moving slowly as the water blends,

Wondering, pondering, what to do.

Putting one color before another,

On a water color afternoon.

Hello Sunlite. Good Afternoon. Your title caught my eye. I thought I would read something different before turning the page. I was pleasantly surprised I was wrong. This entry is stunning and beautiful with marvelous imagery. Honestly. It was a pleasure to read. Well done in its entirety.
