Day 25 Prompt: Red


When I was growing up I extremely disliked the color red, not sure if the fact I had red hair had anything to do with it or not. It wasn't until a few years back that I started to enjoy red and now I love it. I completely embrace red! How about you? Love it? Hate it? Don't feel anything about it?

I have always enjoyed big red barns though, I think it is because my great grandparents lived/owned/worked on their ranch with a big red barn and farmhouse. I loved having family gatherings out there.

Here are a couple of other things that I love that are red;

Possibilities:

Free write for ten minutes about the color red and see what comes up for you. Childhood memories or...?

Suggested poetry type: Harrisham Rhyme


Word Prompts:

dark
tantalizing
sensations
tempting
taste-buds

(Okay so those words are some of my feelings around red, you can choose those or make up your own.)

Happy Writing!

  4. Red for me is about passion, love, dreams of being together forever, the bonds created in passion. So, true to my romantic nature, that's the direction I took.
