Please Chumma draw!

MARRAKESH

Some of the Chumma Draw subjects are difficult given the many possibilities combined with the time constraints. This subject is one of them.The challenge is to come up with the simplest and most effective solution. 
I arrived at this after stuffing up numerous other options and inwardly swearing at Rajni Sir for choosing this. (I would have liked him to choose the subject 'Fish' everyday). Finding this solution got my brain working furiously though. Good exercise :-)
 Two elements that symbolize Marrakesh in nearly all the pictures I've seen are the beautiful arched windows and the colour blue. I've combined both of them here in this minimal drawing.

Today's topic is Marrakesh.

Salmon-pink
city of the living
teeming, steaming, shimmering
mottled mint tea afternoons

shade seeking shade
arch beyond arch, ‘neath
a cobalt sky

shell-brown beauties
hidden behind black

Happy Drawing :)
