Poem About Color Red

Red can be a Mother's lipstick, annoyingly scratchy holiday sweater, embarrassment. Red is a loud, angry, flushed color... a newborn baby. Red can shiny new helmet, foxy car, or the well-scoured skin of a dishwasher.
Free associate and think about red, while writing without editing for 5 minutes.

Then write a poem about what emerges as the dominant theme. Be bold.
