Day Eight: Red

Namaste,

The HalfMarathon event is back again, where participants share ten posts in fifteen days. I opted for colors as my theme for the event. Each day, I will post a short poem about a color.

This post is a part of the Blogchatter Half Marathon 2025.

***

Oh, the passion, desire, and allure

The confidence of a scarlet dress

The bold smirk of red lipstick

The flash of anger and the need for vengeance

Seeing red when wronged

The red-faced shame when caught red-handed

From carmine to crimson

A stimulant that comes with a caution label

Beware, or see the red of the dripping blood!

  1. Nice poem. Red is such a bright color showing intensity of emotions

  2. Nice to read your poem, Sri. Your poem covers every mood associated with red. I liked your conceptualization and how you laced them with your words. Great one.
