Red

For Ellie Hoovs' Unofficial Wonderland Poetry Prompt Challenge Number 3

By Rachel DeemingPublished about a year ago • Updated about a year ago • 1 min read

If I could be a colour,

I wouldn't be red.

Red doesn't know what it wants.

Red is psychotic, the shade of extremes.

One minute, rage. Next minute, passion.

Red for blood. Red for roses.

Blue is cool in its many forms.

Blue is where I'm at.

But then I think of red acers

And cardinals

And holly berries

And who wouldn't want to be red?
