Water Colour

Many thanks, all, for the comments. Indeed, the title says it - I was aiming for a painting in words...and probably an impressionistic painting at that. There's a predominant colour in each couplet:gold, silver, red, green, grey, brown, etc...(the spoon image is a play with images of silver cutlery and also a fishing spoon (a lure)I.use slant rhyme mostly: leaves/lives, stripes/strips...observations - yes - but hopefully interpretive and original....BRgds.,Alan.
