“Red Is”

May 2nd, 2007

Red is a juicy red jello

That is so soft is s-l-i-t-h-e-r-s

Like a snake down your throat.

Red is blood

That comes out of your body

When you get a painful shot

OW!

Red is Hawaiian punch

That looks like red Gatorade

And gives you a red, fruity mustache.

Red is a sweet, juicy strawberry

That makes my mouth water.

Yum! Yum!

Red is mad

That makes your face look like a

Ripe tomato.

Red is chapped lips

That I get a lot when I lick them

And it stings!

Red is a shiny, bright fire engine

That makes a ear-piercing noise

Flashing through the dark night.

    Hannah, I can clearly see the color red after reading your exciting poem. Your vivid images make the color come alive in my mind. Keep writing!

    Hannah,
    Your descriptions are so vivid! I really liked the image of someone’s face turning red with anger…that was a particularly strong image for me. You are very talented!
