Thank you, Anni. Maybe I'm a masochist because I do like making things difficult for myself. I considered rhyming each line as well, but that was a bridge too far. Perhaps next time...
“Humming Bird at Rest with Flowers,”
the painting implanted in memory,
but clouds gathered, rain fell,
and colours dripped in sheets,
a passing helicopter left its ghost,
the sun shone in a laundered sky
and dreams of cakes in MacArthur Park
were shattered.
