Inspired by 'Roxette's' track - 'Water Colours in the Rain' - so many of my poems have Music enthused within them. Thank you for liking my poems, as I like yours, James.....

The title of your poem reminds me of the lyrics to "Year of the Cat" by Al Stewart. It is vividly descriptive.

The image of the watercolor paints falling down the canvas in the rain is beautiful, James. Different colors evoke images of different seasons. I love fall colors. Your choice of colors/seasons is believed to say something about your personality. Well done, James! Love, Carolyn
