Day 154: Red

Red
By Batsheva 5/4/10

Red it is said
Is the color of passion
A Valentine's rose
And some fabulous fashion

But if you're in the red
It means you're in debt
And that is a red
That I'd rather not get

And if you're seeing red
Like the matador's cape
You're angry, enraged
And in need of escape

Red's the color of blood
Of sweet berries, as well
And the flowers round which
Hummingbirds love to dwell

So when you think of red
Just consider, please, this
The color means pain
Also pure red-hot bliss
