Vermilion Poems - Poems about Vermilion

Vermilion, Maybe

A parrot, a toucan,
a horse’s head,
and a girl in red shoes
follow a manikin
walking like an Egyptian
into the room
where I used to dream.
None of them speak.
They just rearrange
the brushes on the table
and wait for me to notice
what I left undone.

The Virgin of Guadalupe
smiles at their shenanigans—
a parrot on her shoulder now,
the manikin offering
a rainbow shoelace,
like a

Love soaked vermilion

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, to straighten soul’s slant.

Vermilion Sunrise

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.

His Coat of Many Colours

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 chubby, rounded waist
To his rugged grey-black shoes.

His sleeves are speckled

Vermillion Sunrise At Kanyakumari

"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 a surge of excitement, 
gurgling, tossing and tumbling, 
awaiting the

'twas a Deep Vermilion

'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

Vermilion Leaves

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 Fall

There is a palette, rare, that Autumn holds

               Brights shades of amber, sepias and golds



The forest canopies - once emerald green

               Now set ablaze with burnished tangerine

Vermilion Repose - Ten Words, Ten Lines Challenge

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 crack that twilight ripples
from the upper floor inside an un-sanitized

Vermilion Sunset

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 wine
Enchanted amidst frangipani scent, feeling divine.

As sun takes one last

Vermilion Leaf

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

Vermilion

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

Vermilion Hideaway

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
