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. by Paula Swanson For the contest, Color my world Sponsored by Nette Onclaud Placement: 2nd

I LOVE this! I DO hope it places high... sigh LOL had to remove mine. I forgot that I was only supposed to write 25 lines! Mine is WAY too long. Fiction writers, sheesh! Go figure. Anyways, you have 'red' down pat. Cheers, Cyndi
