Poem: What is Red?

What is red?


What is red?
To describe a color
What a task
Let me try my hardest


Red is a battle cry
The leading warrior
A call to arms for all
Angry and loyal, fierce


Red is the words you regret
The lurking unwanted truths
Spat before being thought through
Pointless, undirected hate


Red is a heart stopping moment
When you realize you've fallen in love
Fear and joy and hope all mixed up
A strong cocktail of raw emotion


What is red?
Loyalty and anger
Love or spite
Red; an emotion with claws.
