Best Vermilion Poems

Vermilion sunset

Menagerie of animals roam foggy mountain side
Unaware of vermilion sunset painting ocean tide
Reflecting on aqua-blue where reddish hues infuse 
As twilight flickers on ripples that leisurely cruise.

Ancestral dance-music echoes from the distant hills
As mockingbirds mimic birdsongs from the foothills,
While villagers frolic happily sipping luscious...

I received the mail,
written with cracks on a crisp
vermilion leaf. Dropped
in by the cool morning breeze.
News of autumn's arrival.

Crimson, cerise, scarlet, and vermilion leaves
die as Summer grieves.

Without pity, brisk breezes denude the trees,
voiding guarantees.

Nature savors the essence of Fall's decay;
a mushroom gourmet.

Mother Earth prepares to spin Winter’s death shroud,
no tears are allowed.

Crimson, cerise, scarlet, and vermilion leaves
disappear like thieves,
and Autumn aggrieves....

Vermilion
Blood red
Symbolizing the dead
Shed by the weak,
Murdered!...

Apartment perched in a ghetto menagerie of hateful mockingbirds
Safety code bribery has uncaged my anger recluse, 
which now morally infuse me with pellucid fearlessness
Seeing street labor children sniffing nerve-numbing plastic bag criminality
Ill frangipani odor of middle bun dope runner hands,
concocting poisonous fumes of meth and...

Fusing closed
Secrete yourself away
In vermilion blossoms
Inside hushed anguish
Coiling up
In a fetal comfort
Beyond everything
Denying breath
Slowly fading
Within the confines
Of a blood red rose...

'twas a deep vermilion 
sky tonight, as if her heart bleeds
an angry dark blue, shooting through
stunning, menacing too
moons tranquility stills the night

There is a palette, rare, that Autumn holds

               Brights shades of amber, sepias and golds



The forest canopies - once emerald green

Scarlet-orange sun rose brightly,
As the cerise stars shine nightly.
Honey sunshine caressed flowers-
A gold thrall twixt silver showers;
And ruffled, plum breeze came lightly....

An epiphany dawned on us today,
refining further our void-centric view,
to anoint love on all forms every day,
that soul’s innate vibrancy may renew,
with love always claiming the right of way,
aura glistening like fresh morning dew.
Love soaked vermilion, in joy we implant 
on all who we meet,...

"A glance at the magical hues splashed into sky at dawn
Paints a picture of hope in my mind's blank canvas" ~ quote by poet


At the southernmost tip of The Peninsular India, 
where the three seas meet at the 'Triveni Sangamam', 
the blue waves hum in...

His coat has many colours,
Joseph is his name;
Although some call him 'Joey'
It's Joseph just the same.

The collar on his cloak
Is such a vibrant red;
From his shoulders to his pointy chin
It goes right to his head.

The nether of this robe
Has hues of greens and blues
From his...
