Ni or in ?

"tatooed ni blue

scratching the symbols"

Did you really do that? Make the word play of "nickle blue" by purposefully reversing "in", I mean. If so, congratulations. What other chemical symbols can be incorporated into a poem? - AgH! (silver hydride perhaps?) >?(((><

Roses are Red Nickel is....

Nickle when in compounds such as nickle chloride, are a vibrant lime green.... for blue, I would suggest Cobalt compounds which also makes a beautiful magenta compound as well.....or copper sulfate, that is a nice crystal

next: flame tests. Want scarlet? Try lithium.....strontium

where was I, oh, LOST in this poem. I feel like I have been there.... and will stay there for a while... well done Linbido. Fish man, don't mention chemistry, it is so distracting!

Anna<---recovering scientist whose students wrote diamonte poems on the element of their choice...and nicely at that

*SIGH*

That's what I get for reading poems so early in the morning that I haven't had a caffeine fix yet. :(

I guess I was confusing bluing and nickel plating which are two common but totally different finishes on firearms.

Sorry I was giving you too much credit for creativity. :(

Blast that little swirly-whirley, but she is correct.
