    How would you tell a person who was born blind
    Exactly what red is?

    What IS red?
    No more than a color?
    Or is it
    More?

    Love,
    Hate,
    Passion,
    Rage…

    So different…
    And yet,
    The same…?

    Or is it the warmth you feel
    when you step outside
    And feel the giving sun
    All over your skin?

    Perhaps the pain
    When your finger slips,
    And down falls
    The unforgiving knife on your hand?

    The shame you go through,
    When you realized your dancing
    Is as good as a
    Rabid monkey on speed?

    Or the triumph you feel
    when you’ve spent the whole night studying,
    and finally aced that test
    you never thought you’d be able to pass?

    What is red…?


    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    I never do poetry, and this is exactly why. ._.;

    My teacher asked us this question in English one day before we read a story called "The Scarlet Ibis", and I've had it bouncing around in my skull ever since... X.x; So... today I was in a poetic mood, and...!~

    I kinda just did it.

    Anyways, tell me what ya think. :sweatdrop:

    I was reading and thinking this is pretty good... Then I read
    If I had had any sort of drink in my mouth, it would have just come out my nose. But anyways, in all seriousness (*le gasp!* is that even possible?!?) Good job. :)

    OMFG this poem describes red perfectly.

    If I was blind I'd have a new vision in my head for red XD

    It'd probably be really strange but it would be cool.

    Yeah, I probably don't make sense.

    Good job though.

    Well, the blind person could ask a person who can see to read it to them.

    I love it.

    And I'm sure it's easy to tell why.
