Red

By Lanette

Fire is fire as fire will be

Flame rise higher to reach to the sea

Roses are roses that all hurt us so

Heartbreak and thorns under sweet words and bows

Blood is blood as it keeps us alive

Dire when out, needed on the inside

Apples are apples, our Mother’s own treat

Keeping us humans all on our feet

Sunsets are sunsets, a dazzling show

All blazing colors that make the earth glow

Fire is fire as fire will be

For red is the color to challenge the sea
