Watercolour city

new-to-me city

shimmering and dancing

under its mantle

of soft cloud and rain

droplets run

water condenses

on taxi window

excitement thrums

to the gentle rhythm

of pattering ran

outside colours

mix and run

on the filmed canvas

of the busy street

mystery and delight

captured in

swirls and swishes

of patternless blurs

on which golden splashes

of enchanting light

beckon comfortingly

Below are some doors from inside the Louvre in Paris.

For Terri’s The Flower Hour, I am sharing the first yellow rose of the season. You can join in The Flower Hour here: https://secondwindleisure.com/2026/09/29/the-flower-hour-50-the-floral-abcs-exploring-w-xy-and-z/

I’ve rarely seen yellow rose. Interesting doors, and a wonderful poem, Robbie.
