Listen to poem:

Red Inbred In Nature

Red is sunset and sunrise, sky splashed with red wine.
Red is hot flames, lava, coals in fire and molten metal gleaming.
Red is soft rose petals, cherries, lips, ripe tomatoes, raspberries and rosy complexion of cheeks.
Red is lusty hot, devilish, tempting and sinful. 
Red is blood flowing, oozing from fissures, pulsing and throbbing, gushing out.
Red is shiny crystals of ruby, garnet, sapphire, stained glass in windows glowing, sap dried on tree trucks solid and crystallized.
Red is the outer most span of color in a rainbow, tying it together like a ribbon bow.
Red is a primary color, that combined with green and blue can make any other color, using RGB color codes.
Red is hot, cold, warm, steamy, flowing, crystalline, throbbing and stopping.
Red is a fundamental color, inbred in nature.
