Red

Red is passion

the stain of her lips

the tint of his cheeks

in response to this

the bud of a rose

 

Its a daring heart

and life

and love

and energy

and confidence

 

Red is

roses and high heels

and his brilliant teeth

wrapped in my favorite smile

a lively heartbeat

A really wonferful short poem.
I like your use of the associations people have with red - passion, love etc. There was a real innocence about it though.
The imagery of the opening was really affective - the links between her lips an his cheeks. I like the line about red high heels - I read somewhere that they are very suggestive.
This is a great poem. Congrats.
Great to read something new by you.

Small amount of words but a huge amount of feeling. Nice!

I like that you used red. Not only is red a color usually associated with love, but it is connected to passion. And to me the color is pretty sexual. I find the poem to be romantic, but also sexual.

smile to my face.

Thanks for sharing.

Beautiful color, red. Good job on this poem, so happy to see fresh work from you!

[Afayah]

i've never read a poem like this. it evokes these feelings i can't describe but the feelings are good. i love this!

[flaneur]

The first and third stanzas flow with artistry, but the second stanza is abrupt and repetitive. Revising the middle with more detail, perhaps, would make this a stronger poem.
