Red

Anthony “Tappy” Paull

Red is for Christmas and the Jolly Ole Man

His Hat and Coat bright so to see him you can

 

And what of the Reindeer well everyone knows

That Rudolph would lead with his shiney red nose,

 

And the boys all like Red because everyone knows

That if your car if this colour the faster it goes,

 

Ferrari and Ducati with bright red paint are adorn

And many a driver allegiance to these they have sworn,

 

And what of a Fire Engine loud strong and proud

It’s colour is Red to be seen in a crowd

 

And if you binge drink or get something in your eye

It’s colour Red raw and a tear you will cry,

 

Red is for danger a warning to share

If you a see a Red sign you should always beware

 

And what of the traffic lights with red at the top

They are there for your safety and tell you to stop,

 

And what of my favourite car a Brock Commodore

Hand built by a legend so Marinello Red paint it wore,

 

I am sure that if I think hard I could tell you much more

Why Red is a colour that we all use and adore.

    I prefer white to red.

    Loved it. Basic addressing a primary color. I have written a couple of poems on color, Blue, and Yellow and feel that it is an under rated topic in poetry. Well done.
