Scarlet Pandemonium

It's a colour form poem. For information on the details on the form, feel free to ask. It's quite basic.

Scarlet is the colour aganist a darkening vermilion sky
Scarlet looks like autumn leaves scattered by fall's cutting wind
Scarlet tastes like the blood rising in my throat after a panicked, fearful run
Scarlet smells like a monstrous forest fire, its smoke billowing into my nostrils
Scarlet feels like your hand brushing mind and my fingertips tingling
Scarlet sounds like a heavy silence, a cacophony of sounds
waiting to blow
Scarlet is the colour of your labyrinth heart
Scarlet is the blush concealed behind my nervous hands
Scarlet is your bleeding grin, resilient in my mind

What a great way to share a dynamic color. The last line is a hanger .... what comes next , why does he have a bleeding grin. A very bad case of gingivitis or did he just get popped in the mouth? I do love the strength of the poem, the repetition is well balanced with the wild array of comparisons . An impressive poem.

It's a simple form. You pick a colour, and then describe it. First line is just a statement about the colour. The second is what the colour looks like, then taste, smell, feel, sound, and the last three lines are just more statements about the colour. Basically, you use the colour as a theme, incorporating the different senses are concrete images.
