Strawberries, raspberries,
Summer’s delight,
Streamers at sunrise,
Red sky at night.

Ribbon rewarded for
Show--second place.
Embarrassment’s color
Blushing your face.

Apples a’ripening,
Autumn’s surprise.
Cherries in season now;
Soon we’ll have pies.

With cheeks full of cookies,
You’ve been caught red-handed.
“Stay out of the kitchen!”
Your mother’s commanded.

Your theme written quickly,
You'd no time to think;
You'll find it ablaze with
The teacher's red ink.

The skillet that burned you,
You’ve never forgot.
You touched it, not knowing
That it was red hot.

The bureaucrats love it—
A lot of red tape.
A bull gets enraged by
Bullfighter’s red cape.

The color of polish
For fingers and toes
Is match to red lipstick
That glistens and glows.

With goodies for Granny,
She went through the woods,
Where big bad wolf pounced on
Poor Red Riding Hood.

Everything’s working out,
Going your way.
It’s obvious this is a
Red Letter Day.

I think God must love red;
He used it so much.
Both rainbows and roses
Display His bold touch.
