poem challenge: Red

The Two Sides of Red

The Two Sides of Red

One side is
Love, roses, 
Fall leaves.
Sunrises and sets.
So many berries. 
Santa
But
There is 
Rage and fire
Blood
Devil, evil
War and rage.
These two sides convey
Pain
Love
Heartbreak
Happiness.
The things that red portrays.
All the things that people just need to vent
Two sides
And one person to hold
This one color
This one word.

    Welcome to The Young Writer's Project Ella! This poem's great! I love how you saw the color vs what the color can represent. Good job :)
