Paula Swanson Poet Rhyme

The Color of My Life

Twilight sky or morn sunrise,
warm as the blush upon my skin.
Oaken leaves, on Autumn's breeze,
fires flame is tinged within.

From the thorn, a single drop,
falls upon the love Rose.
Anger when not contained,
this is the color that I chose.


My color, Red.
