Love of Nature
In the middle
of the pinkest bush
a single wine-red rose
reflects the sun
something Van Gogh or Monet
would've thought to paint
especially with a final spurt of color
as a bluebird streaks by.

I believe you've used all the primary colors, Michael! Love shades of red, yellow and blue. Yes, surely the Masters of brush would have loved these images.

Same comment as posted yesterday--It's all about light. You have also painted a beautiful picture with black and white words and spaces that generate color in my mind.
