I want to paint the bathroom and I want it painted blue,
the man behind the counter said, “Ya gotta pick the hue.”

“There’s ‘Sudden Chill’ , a purplish tone and ‘Bitten Flesh’ less bright ,
or ‘Iron Nail’ is quite the one to catch the morning light.

‘Arctic Sun’ is yellowish but ‘Frozen Tongue’ glows pink,
and ‘Blue Frost’ has a greenish cast, so tell me what you think?”

I want it blue that’s all I know, I really am confused -
I pull a face to show my angst, the salesman’s quite amused.

Good one Owly, would be sooooo much better if they just had one.

Oils ain't oils! Another imaginative poem on the topic.

Heather

"Hue" have a way with words Owly!
Trish

Another different angle - I would never have thought of that! Very clever

Good one Owly - my husband relates to that as he is a painting contractor He has many such discussions with clients who want "that colour like a dress my sister once had after it had faded in the sun"

Cheers, Shelley

These home reno shows have got everyone on the tools it seems - thinking outside the square with this one Wendy - try picking white that's even worse I like your poem and a innovative use of the prompts. Well done.

Very clever Owly

and once more congratulations with Henry.
