Red: A Color Poem

May 15, 2015
By Anonymous

Looks like the sky when the sun starts to set

The tiny ladybugs that buzz around in spring

The bricks that hold up homes

Sounds like a firetruck zooming by on the street

An old, creaky wagon being pulled by a child

A squawking Macaw in the rain forest  

Tastes like the sweet strawberries in the summertime

A crate of fresh cherries from the supermarket

A melting Popsicle on a hot day 

Feels like the soft strands of ribbon

The lipstick that is applied to lips before a party

A scrape from falling off a bicycle 

Red can be beautiful and destructive

I really like the color red, and I think color poems are super fun and full of imagery.
