Tincture Tuesday: Red

"Tincture" means "cast, color, pigment, shade, etc." So on Tuesdays (for now) I'll be writing a color poem.









RED

Hearts, bricks, apples, sexy dress
Rooster, ruby, Kool Aid mess
Hollywood carpet, beautiful rose
Babybel wrapper, stepped-on toes
Maraschino cherry, strawberry wine
Valentine cards, licorice vine
Blood donation, ketchup squeeze
Radish, Red Hots, skinned-up knees
Fruit punch, fire truck, red-hot coals
Rosy cheeks, Red Roan foals
Chili peppers, matchstick top
Glitzy lipstick, sign for STOP
Digital numbers, solo cups,
Teacher’s comments, Setter pups
Exit sign, red velvet cake
Love asleep and love awake
