hues of red
in a common thread
vermillion through blood
to rose petals scattered
over the white shroud
but she stands proud
a sacrifice so bold
she would repeat double-fold
~ may the offerings of the oppressed be accepted ~
poetry and some more

Wow! What an awesome variety of ideas. You are blessed with the ability to use such few words to portray so many images… May His inspiration always surround you…
And, by the way, red has always been my favourite amongst the colours, so this poem I will try to commit to memory :-)

Wow ! revolting red. The color of passion. What a lovely piece, so crisp , so rhythmic such powerful words. I’m no critic myself but i can guess you should keep writing. Pleasure reading it. Would love it if you’ll have a look at mine http://kashjaved79.wordpress.com/
