Notes About The Poem

Watercolour

wondrous varied colours~
works of art painted in
water-based dazzling hues;
whether abstract, still life,
warli * and children's art
whirling, zigzag or straight-
warming art-loving hearts.

This is what a good painter and a good poet can come out with. And it has some solid factual touch, not all imagism that melts away like gossamer mist. Keep it up dear poet
