COLOR Me Teal

The COLOR I love best is teal.

I like the way it makes me feel.

It paints my cheeks a rosy hue

and makes my hazel eyes POP, too.

Teal takes the best from blue and green

and blends them into something seen

in ocean waves and dusky skies

or as a rainy day surprise.


Teal knocks me out and makes me smile.

I think I'll stick with teal awhile.

GO SHARKS!

  12. Very nice rhyme, your are quite clever! I love teal too! It is a fantastic color, isn't it? Nice "C" post,with wonderful pictures too!
    We bought a Simmons Beautyrest, Firm pillowtop plush. We discovered this after vacationing in home that had one and I love it. I sleep on my stomach alot and while I like a soft bed I need a firm support too. This has the best of both worlds for me. Good luck!

  19. I love teal...it is such a special color. The way you used photography to express its value and meaning to you was clever, interesting, and particularly thought out. I thoroughly enjoyed reading and viewing your entry. Thank you also for visiting my “Clock” post and taking the time to leave me a message. Hope you have had a happy teal of a day.
