What Is Red?

Red is a sunset And when you’re angry

Blazing and bright Red runs through your head.

Red is feeling brave Red is an Indian,

With all your might. A Valentine heart.

Red is a sunburn The trimmings on

Spot on your nose. A circus cart.

Sometimes red Red is a lipstick

Is a red red rose Red is a shout

Red squiggles out Red is a signal

When you cut your hand. That says: “Watch out!”

Red is a brick Red is a great big

And the sound of a band. Rubber ball.

Red is hotness Red is the giantest

You get inside Colour of all.

When you’re embarrassed Red is a show-off,

And want to hide. No doubt about it –

Fire-cracker, fire-engine But can you imagine

Fire-flicker red- Living without it
