red traffic light means no go,
a red and white ribbon around
a dangerous site to show.
A red cross is a symbol
of help in times of disaster.
On a hospital ship carrying
wounded home faster.
Red is the colour of blood
giving life to haemophiliacs.
Jesus blood gives life
to those who accept it.
Everyone on earth has one blood.,
but some can carry disease,
to use their blood in transfusions
is the cause of unease.
Red heart is a symbol of love
displayed on valentine's day,
to show to your true love
in a heartfelt display.
A red rose is a symbol
of a love so true,
which a man may give
to his heartthrob too.
A red red robin is a bird,
immortalised in a song,
not often seen in Australia,
but in Britain so long.
I like to dress in red;
it is a cheerful colour,
it stands out in a crowd
just like no other.
A red wall in a house
gives a dramatic impact,
but it may be too strong
in a bedroom contact.
Red the colour of a fire engine
racing to put out a fire,
glowing with flame and smoke,
resulting in a state dire.
A poet has called a bushfire
like cathedral isles in a night,
so dramatic and fearsome,
a frightening awesome sight.
A red is a communist
a political idealist feared,
keeping many in bondage,
and many lives seared.
To paint the town red,
to make a celebration,
a wild and extravagant event,
an uninhibited aberration.
In the red means no credit,
we've run out of cash,
if we're not careful,
our economy will crash.
Red-backed spider and
red-bellied black snake,
both contain poison,
In Australia we avoid them.
Wine is made from grapes
which are coloured red,
are ripened in the sunshine,
from which juice is tread.
Red sky is seen at night
is a shepherd's delight.
Red sky in the morning
is a shepherd's warning.
Because of embarrassment
we can be red in the face.
Also when anger surfaces,
this can also be the case.
