You 'Red' My Mind

Well, its inaugural week for Alphabe-Thursday, Rainbow Summer School. Our first assignment is the color Red, that rainbow slice of eye-popping color love. I have to admit that I am having some issues in this transition from letters to colors. I'm not sure why...colors are visual, and I love pictures. But if all I did was just post pictures corresponding to a week's assignment...well, it just seems like that could get old. I suppose I could write a poem as well...I think I will...to  illuminate my secret thoughts as I think of red...

You 'red' my mind...
thoughts of crimson bright
to light the way
on this dark night.

Your lips of red
your eyes of blue are
flames of the passion
I have for you.

Between the setting
and the rising sun
before this night 
is fully done...
two hearts on fire
two souls attest
to what lovers do
and do the best.















Please visit Jenny Matlock's Alphabe-Thursday, Rainbow Colors Summer School, where I think your world will be colored up;-)
Peace and blessings...

Jenny Matlock

  3. This is a beautiful poem, Jeff. Ni agree with Linda's comment.

    I love the photo of you with the red ribbon tied around the tree! You should make this photo into a card and put the poem inside as a gift for Mrs C!

  5. Pat had a great idea, but wait a while so Mrs. C will forget and be surprised. Maybe next Valentine's Day? Be sure and have your camera handy so we can see the look on her face.

  6. Jo's comment made me laugh! I do think Pat had a great idea about the card. But my favorite photo is that little church with the red door, beautiful! Kat

  27. Jeff. Stretching in new writing directions is not an easy task. You did an amazing thing here, though.

    You took us on a journey through your heart with your words and your unbelievably perfect photos.

    Thank you.

    You don't have to "red" my mind at all.

    My admiration is right out here on my sleeve for you.

    A+
