My bland walls,
are in need of your paint.
Daub them with
your precious colour.
Vibrant and wet,
let it drip. . .
Running rivulets,
down the length of them.
Hues bleeding,
merging into one another.
Creating new shades as they go.
Please, take up your vivid colour,
and paint this wall Red.
Daub them with
your precious colour.
Vibrant and wet,
let it drip. . .
Running rivulets,
down the length of them.
Hues bleeding,
merging into one another.
Creating new shades as they go.
Please, take up your vivid colour,
and paint this wall Red.

A sensual poem, Susannah. Nothing bland or beige about your walls.
Beautiful! In my last house I had a RED kitchen and really enjoyed it! I love red.
Oooh ... gorgeously written!
mmm...red is an evocative color for sure...and i love painting it vivid...
Steamy! Really steamy ... reading between the lines so much fun.
Bold color; bold poem...
Red for danger... :)
very juicy, and well written:)
love the lines -
Daub them with
your precious colour.
I just did my bath and the paint ran-darn it- mines pale blue though, thanks!
ooo la la I am feeling the need to repaint my bedroom after that one.
This is so sensual!
Wow-- very imaginatively conceived poem! xxxj
Yes, paint it vivid and RED...life giving RED...bkm
I once painted my bedroom wall bright red, and was glad I moved before it needed to be repainted. I loved the color though. Love your very sensual poem.

Messy with red.....my kinda wall....!!
Mary, I had a red kitchen in my last house, too! Loved it, so inspiring.
Susannah, a wonderful quality of yours is that you see that bland picture and demand it bring forth color. Strong color, at that. Lovely use of the prompt! Amy

Hot! but you're gonna need more than those three rollers, two brushes, and paint pan!
Very sensual - brilliantly done.

A delicious metaphor. Great Magpie.
I loved that red is the precious, sacred color. Your writing is full of every color - yet another wonderful poem.
