Red! 
By Norah Lomedico 
Red,

A color so bold and bright,

Like apples 

Crayons 

Or a fire on a starry night 
Red, 

A color so gorgeous and pretty 

Like christmas 

Cherries 

Or a collar on a kitty

Red,

A color so brave and smart 

Like rubies

roses 

Or a beautiful heart

Red, 

A color so adventurous and strong

Like watermelon 

Barns

Or a perfect love song  


Red, 

A color so true to itself 

You wouldn't recognize it as anything else!  

 

Red 

By Oona Osborne, age 11 Essex Jct

Red is the cherries and strawberries I eat on hot summer days

The lipstick my mom put on before date night

Red is the nail polish I paint on my toes 

Red is the polo cups I sip lemonade out of at papa and nana’s house

Roses and poppies blooming in the spring 

Red is the blood the flows through my body keeping me alive

Red is the door I walk in every day to my home

The stop signs at the edge of my road

Red is the color of my favorite sweater

Red is the color of the red soxs

My dad's favorite baseball team

Red is the color of Vienna’s leash and collar 

Red is the pomegranate we cut open and fight over who got more

Red is the watermelon popsicles I eat with my friend
