A Poem by Thayne Whipple

Red

Aug 26, 2015
Roses, blood and Scottish hair,
Apples, cherries, steak that's rare,
Ketchup, fire, chicken pocks,
Lobsters, lips and molten rocks,
Cardinals, strawberry tarts,
Cape of matadors and hearts,
Fire truck and sunburned neck,
Half the cards in playing deck,
Pirate beard and lipstick too,
U.S. flag with white and blue,
Tile roofs above your head,
Wagon by a child led,
Watermelon, sunset sky,
Flashy sports car racing by,
Square in Moscow, angry hue,
Sea that Moses walked right through,
Stop sign, royal robe and ants,
Viking Eric, Mickey's pants,
All the things that I've just said,
Each and every one is red.
