Red saturates, stains, attracts attention
desirable or not. Confuses a man
who can't distinguish the difference
between rose, scarlet, claret, and crimson.
I wore red the night we met;
you may not remember where or when,
but recall the outfit, and so you say,
my smile.
Valentine's Day you still buy me
roses red and wink as I stain your lips
with my kiss; declare boldly, no confusion,
your attention's desired.

Congratulations on your anniversary. A very inspiring poem to celebrate with. Ours will be 42 years in Aug. Time does fly doesn't it?
Margaret, this a nice recollection by you. I can remember our meal but nothing Mrs. Jim was wearing. He is a perfect guy in your last verse and this is which of these things matter most.
Congratulations on the big 29!!! Although there is no gem for 29 the theme is 'furniture'. The 30th gem is pearl. Earrings? (We were 47 in February.)

Congratulations on your anniversary, Margaret, and on this beautifully scarlet, claret, crimson poem! The only men who know the difference between shades of any colour are artists and writers. My husband can’t tell the difference between shades of green and blue, and he used to be a musician. I love the phrase ‘stain your lips with my kiss’.
Oh gosh!❤️ Many many hearty congratulations on your anniversary, Margaret! This is a gorgeous poem!❤️
Happy Anniversary, Margaret! Lovely poem. We are coming up on 40 years. Impossible to believe.
I like the way you have given the red a special significance in this poem. A lovely response to the picture. Thank you.
