“Red Is”
May 2nd, 2007

Red is the symbol of hope
That floats upon us in the air.
Red is the wildfire
That burns across the woods
Through the plants and forest.
It never stops to help…
Only destroy.
Red is the summer days
Steamy upon us
When only the pool
Can cool
With warm water.
Outside we feel the heat boiling upon us.
Red is anger-
A hard maze that circles the world
And the mysteries of anger
That we try to solve may someday be solved.
Red is the symbol of courage and triumph.

Dylan,
This poem is so richly expressive! Full of evocative images and feelings, and somehow ending with a sense of wonder and hope.
You have demonstrated a great power to observe and understand.
Keep writing!

Dylan,
I will never see the color red the same way after reading your poem. My favorite part was the end!! Great job. Keep writing!!
Dylan-
Wow! That was so beautifully written that I actually felt filled with emotion when I read it. Red is such a powerful color, and you truly captured that in your poem. Keep up the good work.
I like the part when you read the part about courage. When you said it floats on air.
Dylan,
You did a fabulous job with this poem. The way you described the color red using feelings of hope, anger, courage and triumph makes the reader feel those emotions. Great writing.

Hi Dylan,
Your poem is stellar and I’m thrilled that I got to heard you read it aloud. I can hardly wait to read the next one.
Hi Dylan,
I’m your Avi’s old friend and I’ve known your Mom for a long time, so I’ve heard about you and your brother since you were born. I loved your poem! Also, I liked how you read it – so clear and strong. Thank you for giving me some new ideas about the color red. I am impressed with how creatively you described what the color red means to you.
Thank you!
