Literature Text

Bitter like a sour apple,
Sweet like blood,
Rancid like the dead,
After a flood.

Frustrated words,
Yelled as an alert,
Or simply a pretty girl,
Wearing a shirt.

Roses and hearts,
On Valentine’s Day,
Or a stop sign near traffic,
Where children shouldn’t play.

A fire, burning out of control,
A candle, on a late night out,
Crayons for drawing,
Or a painful shout.

Perhaps old Saint Nick,
As he breaks into your house,
Or maybe an evil trap,
That just snapped shut on a mouse.

Spiderman and his courage,
The stripes on our flag,
A shiny red wagon,
A Coke bottle in a bag.

The pen grading this,
A monster under the bed,
A brilliant ball gown,
Of bright red thread.

Red is all these things,
But it is also much more,
It is our essence,
It is our core.
Hopefully this is in the right category...Anyway, this is just an assignment I did for school. It's due Tuesday (3/31/09), so I'll tell you all what I got on it when it gets graded. It's supposed to be on the color red, because we just finished The Giver (which has got to have one of the worst endings imaginable, I would have prefered they both just DIE right there in the snow...), and it's supposed to help us with our big project which has yet to be assigned. Critique not really welcomed, because it was just something I did to finish. Enjoy, or don't. It's really up to you.

EDIT: Please, do not use without permission. I do have a CC on this shitty thing, you know!
