Cara, this is splendid. Being totally colour blind my wife and I have never
yet agreed on colours. I have printed this out (with your permission I
hope) to share with her tomorrow. Many Thanks. Gets better at every
reading! Regards, Daniel.
Internal Design
'Blue' she said
as though there was
no room for further discussion.
'Yellow' she said
prepared to argue the case
for saffron rather than ochre.
'Green' said their best friend
as she thought
of the colour wheel,
seascapes,
her favoured political party.
He was damned
if he was going to see
green as blue:
she certainly could not see it
as saffron.
They continued to live
with the magnolia and cream
chosen by the previous owner
as though each of them sensed
that separate ideal homes
were just around the corner.
