Color Him Red
by Gene Williamson → (All Poetry by Gene Williamson)
   Rated "G" by the Author.
Share   Print  Save   Follow   Share on Facebook

Red, is more than a Red Red Rose,
more than a planet called Mars,
more than a Red Red Robin.

Red is bold
captivating
confident
courageous
exciting
lusty
passionate
sexy
stimulating
vital.

Red is a garnet
lodestone
jade
moonstone
obsidian
onyx
ruby.

Red is connected to the universal energy.

In China, red is good luck.
In Japanese mythology, red is heroic.
In Sweden, privilege.
To the Aztecs, red dye is more valuable than gold.
To the Hindu, creativity,
In England, the double-decker bus.
In Singapore, red symbolizes joy.

To the world at large, red is the color of choice
for the man we know and love
as Flanagan,
as grand as any name can be!

Red is sexuality to me. Always has been. I'm sure my wife might agree, especially with the "little blue pill" on the market.

Good flow, like red wine coming out of a bottle, to this tribute poem, Gene; nice variety of images, too! Entertaining, as fine poetry should be; excellent choice for a reading, I'd say.

compliment - in your debt big time.

Now I understand why women like red clothing on guys (at least so I have been told). It is not hard to see why red is so symbolic and your verses serve to add credence to this and also, yours is a fine tribute. Love and peace to you, Gene,

In my world, red is said to be bold but in yours...in yours, I thought you held purple as the red, red rose.

Your run of single words reminds me of a writer's way.
