Prompt: Write about something red-What does the color red mean to you? What kinds of emotions does it evoke?-How does the poem make you feel? Have you ever felt like that before? Has a person ever made you feel that way?-Once again, makeup is being used as a metaphor. What does it represent in this poem? What is being covered or hidden?
