Undaunted by the sun
India comes in technicolour, never monotone nor buff
beige, bland
but gaudy and garish, clashing shades
sun bright
houses painted pinks with purples
orange teamed with red
a splash of blue
turquoise, kingfisher, teal
and up the walls rampaging, bougainvillea's paper flowers
hot hibiscus marigold and rose
sunflowers yellow chrome
even the fields now carpetted with paddy's lush lime green
all of the rainbow's boldest tones
shout and zing
loud and proud in the midday glare
more than a match, equal to the challenge
undaunted by the sun.

Yes! the colours, that anyone who has been to India remembers, and translated into words. It's a picture Sally. X
