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.
