I would say you were extremely successful in your attempt to write a poem with the color red. This is another poem that proves how talented you are. Thank you for sharing this talent with us.

cherry earrings? interesting...
but can she tie the cherry stems with her tongue? LOL!
still have never met anyone who can do that!

anyway, this was a cool very imagistic poem
love all the red. . . like a waterfall. . .
the little cherries between the stanzas are a nice touch
totally cool senryu suite with smooth flow and line connection

thank you for sharing!
shelley :)

    I can't come up with something better than a 'pair of cherries' so I added a picture between stanzas. They are joined by the stems so you can hang them.

    Thank you for reviewing and reading my poem.

Beautifully presented and an equally beautiful reflection on childhood and the thoughts and images that predominate in a playful, imaginative mind. Thank you, Gypsy, for sharing your fine artistry. Best wishes, Debbie

Very well written poem that expresses your personal journey as a child and your present life to some extent.
As a child I was also an introvert. I spent many days at a playground, writing, reflecting and observing life around me. When I read many of your poems, I can relate to them.

    Oh, no, the poem is not about me. I will have to add a note. It's about a prostitute.

    Thank you for reviewing and reading my poem. I appreciate the exceptional six stars review. :)

    I am sorry, I did not say it well. What I meant is that the loneliness and struggles of the character might have related to your story, it did to mine in certain ways. But I see your point, I did jump the pitch a bit.

    I confused this poem with another, I am sorry. It's not really about me but I used my childhood as inspiration so you were partly right.

    That's okay, happens to me more than I would like to admit. lol

That is quite the elegant beautiful read. All the qualities of your fantastic mind.

This really had the ability to put one's mind into a captive mood.

I've said it a zillion times. You are a talent!

From your author notes, it sounds like you had an awesome childhood. Making the world your playground sounds magical. This exercise in red was outstanding. The fantasy of the flowers as ballerinas was exquisite. Gretchen
