My watercoloring later was a sort of disaster but it’s all good anyway. #urbansketching

Somewhat perfect poem for this rainy Sunday.
Poem by Judith Dowling from Converse Quarterly; “Nothing she did Or said was quite what she meant But still her life Could be called a monument Shaped in a slant Of available light And set to the movement Of possible music”
