Red, the color of

blood;

Gold, the color of

pride.

Tassels at the beginning

and end remind me what

awaits at the finish.

Worn in summer,

it colors my courage, not

always studious. Writing

my own story while

others read a common

thread.

Behold my winter

neck-warmer,

my white-nerd bling

a Harry Potter thing
