Too soon the colors
Blazing on the trees
And paths
And drains
And roofs of cars
Would calm,
And ground
And street
And city parks
Will match the clouds in
Moody monochrome.

Thank you, Tina. The flower is white to begin with, and it just begged to be monochromatic. The wording is inspired by the contrast with the absolutely blazing colors of the foliage we have now, like a blip on a radar screen of nature before winter sets in with a far more muted palette. …

Not you fault that a British November is the greyest of times. And already it started, right from the first day. Maybe the sun will come out tomorrow… 🙂
