Red Is Cool

Red sounds like a lion roaring in the darkness "ROAR"
Red sounds like a car driving through the big traffic
Red sounds like a boy crying for help

Red feels smooth like a car's shiny door
Red feels soft like a red butterfly's wing
Red feels gentle like my comfortable blanket

Red makes me feel angry and sad

Red taste like a ripe strawberry in the breeze
Red taste like a lemon lying on the ground
Red taste like a jellybean melting in my tiny mouth

Red smells like a orchard full of ripe apples
Red smells like a cherry pie which is ready to eat
Red smells like a bathtub full of sweets
