Flashing coloured wings against the sun,
screeching in their sudden flight,
startled whirling rainbows thrusting
into an azure sky.
Green leaves and blossoming flowers
bring these vivid angels down.
Offer them some sweetened food,
they'll perch on arms and heads to feed.
Watermedia (gouache, watercolour and acrylic) on watercolour paper. 11inx15in (approx).
