Red as Blood


Rose and valentine
cardinal and ruby throat
cherry drop and maple tree

One color crayon
covers all of these and more
lips, sunsets and gore

    red is such an evocative color...traveling the whole gambit in its interpretation...interesting you end on gore as it is vivid...

    What a lovely thought--the crayon covering all those wonderful red things. Nice take on the prompt.

    I love this color as it is a strong one ~ That last line though, gives me pause as it is a dramatic ending ~
