I just happen to belong to a local poetry group that meets every 2-3 weeks and one of the meetings requirement was to write a poem about a color.
I chose red. this poem I wrote is a bit long for this thread - but i thought you might enjoy it. Here it is: oops - I forgot to pass it on - the tag topic is - SWIMMING red I can’t make up my mind about the color red The negatives & positives have me confused Just when I have, my mind decided – instead I find it even more difficult to choose. Red is the color they say the devil is But red is for true love and Valentines Once, Russia had bunches of red communists But red-blooded Americans blood is red, most of the time. Lack and failure on tests are usually marked in red And working in the red is - a high ratio of debt But the red necks that fuel the red hot coals of industry, That crank out new red sports cars for the “Indy” Santa’s red suit, red bag, roll out the red carpet, please These red things are deemed signs of success. We see red when we are angry, (but not really) And taking the red eye, leaves us feeling sleepy. Is the ruby red shimmering of the hummingbird More beautiful than the powerful red hawk that hunts her? When we say red skins, we could mean potatoes Or ball players, or the Natives (that were here before) And neither ball players nor red Indians, (at least not most) Come from India, nor do they have red skin, (of course.) Not even Superman’s red cape or Spiderman’s tights Could sooth annoyance of red tape or red stop lights The Red Cross, and candy stripers give helping hands But we don’t say that we caught them red handed. When the red sky warns of a storm Where do ladybugs and robins go to stay warm? No trivia herein of red so far has had the impact Or importance understated in these last four facts: The bloody results left by some words can’t be un-said Like “you’re HIV positive” or “I’m pregnant” And it was a future sacrifice illustration When blood over door was first-born protection. So there you have it, a silly synopsis on the color red And “ways of speak” that I bet you hadn’t thought of Did you get a kick out of the language threads But then, that might hurt, and I never got to the bottom of.

frogs are quick to ribit and leap
in serene ponds that are knee deep with tongues so strong and stout snagging flies as it reaches out multi colored skin so bright singing their songs as day losses its light their call carries over the swamps and waters their silence means they dont want to be bothered so remember frogs are indeed pretty cool creatures so many colors and some with cool features ickk lol I tried ok keeping the theme next tag "Lilly pads"

lily pads
we all need a lilly pad to rest our weary bones a place to go when we are tired and tired of being tired we all need a lily pad to rest our troubled minds a place to go when we are sad and tired of being sad if we don't have a lily pad, and don't know how to get one we can always ask our friends and they will loan us theirs if we don't want a lily pad, and have run out of courage again, just ask an NT friend, they will loan us courage. I don't really like this poem, but I like it just enough not to delete it. Maybe someone can fix it or write a better one about lilypads. tag: emoticons

OK, but seriously...
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ how can a blank piece of paper be chockful of emotions how can one cyber friend show support for another typing "smile" might help but seeing :-) is even better sometimes words get misconstrued ending with a :-D or a ;-) makes it lighter who knew a few lines and a few dashes can make one's day brighter... colons become eyes while semi becomes winks while emoticons reveal expressions of the face... a$$icons, well, I rest my case... so here's a ^_^ to end this tag and dare I tag the next word: "drag"

It is truly a drag
When I feel like a limp rag Down the stairs I creep Can't find my friend - sleep It is truly a drag When I hit this snag With the coming of light This mind will be quite a sight Oh, that this pain would fly away How I pray For, then, I could find That sweet nursery rhyme And dream, lightly dream And not be in this drag That will leave me like a rag. Tag = dream or dreaming

ahhh...d.r.e.a.m.i.n.g....
I think it is bright colors and flashing forms with a story to tell not sure I do not dream I do know it happens nightly to some people Some say it tells the future and some feel it heals the past does each part really have great meaning do the pieces fit together at last what are you dreaming does it have the makings of a good suspense story are there lovely heroines or heroes or both and do they let you have a part do you wish that when you are sleeping John Mayer would come to you in a dream to sing “Dreaming with a broken heart” http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4NZZ6tXCuO8 Tag: "take one for the team" or "a team of one" or "it takes two"
