Zen Color
I wasn’t up for a snowball fight
So my grandson took his screen
And clicked on an activity
That I had never seen.
Although, in truth, it wasn’t far
From Venus Paradise,
A version done with colored pencils
Using no device.
Both Venus and Zen Color start
With scenes in white and black
Divided into numbers
For the colors that they lack.
On paper, we’d use pencils;
On the screen, a tap would do
And if you’d need help, a different tap
Would then provide a clue.
The Zen pic came out perfect
But I like the old-time kind,
Which allowed for mixing colors up,
If that was in your mind.
Also, Zen had background music
Which was meant to help relax,
But instead, as time went by
It just annoyed me to the max.
