A Poem & A Painting: Watercolor Peaches

I am back from yet another wonderful, whirlwind trip.  This time I went to Seattle to meet my son Freddy who is in the midst of a cross-country odyssey.  We spent a great few days together, what a treat!  I’m sure I’ll have more to share about my time in Seattle, but for today a better-late-than-never poem and painting…

from Ode To A Peach Tree

Fruit of the kings

From long ivory stems

Come your colonial pink flowered hems

To blossom into coral globes that swing

Wrapped in velveteen coats

Your sweet scented perfumed notes

A core bleeding crimson rose

Yet spilling golden flesh enclosed

Until the first sweet and sticky bite

That spreads across continents to invite

Others to relish in amber delight

Into that succulent orb outright

Watercolor Peaches by Pamela Copeman

This watercolor painting is quite color saturated.  I love their fuzzy skin and the variety and variations in colors ~ reminds me of rouge!
