Notes About The Poem

Red Waltz

                         Red
                       is the
                        wine
                      on your
                         lips,
                      the fire 
                          in
                    your eyes,
                  the lifeblood 
           that warms your touch,
                 the dress that
                   clings your
                        flesh,
                     and glow
                    of burning 
                      coals in
                          the 
                      flame of
                          us!

Michael Tor November 4, 2024 at 4:45 AM Keith this is so well written. The way you describe the sheep and capture the smells and sounds during the first September dawn puts the reader there with your magical chosen words to bring the full affect to the reader. Written in 1996. Share some more of your old poems this one was so wonderful to read and experience. Thank you for sharing my friend. I read your comment on my poem of Taylor swift your comment made me laugh because she is an influencer and just think of all these people Keith D Trestrail November 5, 2024 at 3:08 AM Cheers Michael. Appreciate your thoughts. God bless, mate. Michael Tor November 4, 2024 at 4:51 AM that she influences, not a good thing my friend. I read your comment and I commented on your comment and I went to spell check a word for your comment and when I went back to type the word in your comment disappeared. So weird. Anyways thank you for your comment and I love this Poem of yours the picture is perfect for your Sonnet and I always respect and agree with your Political views.
