you open at Christmas. Red is a marble, smooth and round

1
What is
Red?

• By Susan Bowdoin

2
Red is stop signs and Valentine hearts.Red is a
tulip in your shopping cart.Red is blood from a
cut on your handand a small crab that you find
in the sand.
3
Red is loud yelling and very soft kissesand
crinkly wrapped presents you open at Christmas.
4
Red is a marble, smooth and round.Red is anger
shown with a frown.
5
Red is campfiresand the 4th of July.
6
And red reminds you of a Christmas gone by.
7
Red is ripe cherries and cinnamon bearsAnd love
is telling someone that you really care.
