A designer's love poem In honor of Valentine's Day...
Red with blue
Red with green
With all the colors
In between
Luxurious on velvet
Soft in a sateen
Sprinkled in a room
Red dares to be seen
Sultry in the bedroom
Appetizing when dining
Red even makes a splash
Hiding as a coat's lining
Seductive on the shoe
Elegant for a dress
When red enters the room
She will be a success
Red powers the suit tie
And brightens the lips
It adds the right touch
To our finger tips
Red is our blood
And heart's desire
We can feel the warmth
As it fuels the fire
Giving love to some
And joy to others
Red is the mother
Of all colors
