Color Poem


Watermelon Red-- Benjamin Moore-- 2087-20








 By Yu-jin Son


In a field of tulips I stand
The color is strong as the smell
Air waves push the flowers all together
They look like fans celebrating a victory in Manchester

The sun is bright in the horizon
The wind is blowing on my cheeks
The tulips move on the beat of my favorite songs
About glory and winning streaks

A girl stands next to me
A red scarf is around her neck
Peacefully and quietly floating in the wind
As she stands in the field and stares back at me

Celebrating quite indeed
And happy to be in the field
We feel the crowd around us
But they are nowhere to be seen

The energy is always there
And the happiness is everywhere
Joy of the fans and players
But coming from the two people present

She smells like red ripe round watermelon
She flows like air
She tasted like watermelon
When I kissed her lips

Electricity is released
In my head and into my blood
The tulips lay on the wind at ease
As we face we face the sun

Watermelon red her lips were
Watermelon scent her skin expelled
Watermelon sweet her lips tasted
As Watermelon fields that are far away

Red are all the tulips
Red is the wave of fans
Red is the scarf that warms her
Red is my vivid heart

Just one kiss of hello
And now a wave of goodbye
Celebrating a common goal
And now is the end of the rite

The field is like a stream
Of blood from my fervent dreams
Ever pumping with Exhilarating joy
Faithfull to my heart serene 

As now I stand alone
Crowds of people I still sense
With the tulips that smell of rout
Defeat from the other side of a fence.

The sun is a still quite bright light sight
In my dreams, there is never night
At this field of winners I shall wait
For another victory in the present tense

  1. Wow! You have a way with words!
    I love this stanza:
    The sun is a still quite bright light sight
    In my dreams, there is never night
    At this field of winners I shall wait
    For another victory in the present tense.

    I think it would be even more powerful without the light and sight.

    REMOVE YOUR WORD VERIFICATION!
