David Mchattie Poet Free verse

A Simple Thought

The color of my house 
    does not define me.
The color of my car 
    does not define me.
The color of my skin 
    does not define me.
The color of my eyes 
    does not define me.
The color of my hair 
    does not define me.
Well... unless it was red.
    That would be just creepy.

         The End

Indiana Shaw August 21, 2021 at 5:00 PM Ha, ha, ha, as an ageing red head turned grey, I would give my best marbles to get it back, brilliant verse, left you thinking what was coming next, and no worries, us red heads have an amazing sense of humour, David, and I loved it . . . ; )

Andrea Dietrich April 27, 2021 at 3:19 PM oh I just love this. My FAVE for the day. David Mchattie April 27, 2021 at 4:58 PM Thanks Andrea. Glad you liked it. Have a great day.

Richard Lamoureux April 25, 2021 at 7:37 AM I do not think you are capable of a simple thought *lol* That’s why I find your writing so interesting. David Mchattie April 27, 2021 at 4:57 PM Thanks Richard. There's a fine line between being funny and being mean... I hope I never come off as mean. Have a great day my friend.

Judy Ball April 14, 2021 at 8:02 PM This gave me a chuckle. Nicely done. God Bless, JB David Mchattie April 27, 2021 at 4:49 PM Thanks Judy. That's what I was going for. Have a great day.

Gershon Wolf April 13, 2021 at 7:28 PM Ha, ha, ha, ha. Rather be dead than red in the head!.. Take it from a faded redhead. All the grandmas used to fondle my hair in elevators. Can you imagine?! It was, indeed, AWFUL. Cute poem, David. Stay interesting. :) gw David Mchattie April 27, 2021 at 4:48 PM Now that would be creepy. Sounds like an idea for a poem. Stay frosty my friend.

Michelle Faulkner April 13, 2021 at 4:49 PM I come from a family of redheads, but sadly have only brown hair, and so I always wished I were a redhead :) Clever ending to your poem, David~ David Mchattie April 27, 2021 at 4:47 PM I have nothing against redheads. I was just making the point... we all have some things that give us the willey-nilleys. Have a great day.

Jan Allison April 11, 2021 at 3:46 PM the ending made me smile David:-) hugs Jan xx David Mchattie April 12, 2021 at 11:13 AM I thought it was funny but since my wife assures me I am not funny... I bow to your good taste. Have a great day my friend.
