In Honor of National Poetry Month - Dorothy Alves Holmes










My Red Poem (written with my pink pen)

Here I write a red poem,
Sophie Tucker red,
'The last of the red hot mama's red'
It is a hard Tap Dancing Red,
St. Valentine's red...
Cinnamon Apple scented red...
Georgio sweet smelling red,
Victoria Secret Red
Morning sunrise red,
Red Hot lipstick red
The blush on your cheeks red,
Happy Go Lucky Red,
Written with my flaming Pink Craylo Pen
On this October day...
Oh you kid!

I am delighted to find my poem posted here on your pages. This Red Poem is one of a series of poem I wrote with this pink crayola pen purchased from our local post office back in 1998. Thank you so much for the honor...I am now 80 years young.

Ms. Holmes, I am blown away, tickled to death and honored that you dropped by. Thank You!!!!
