Tasting color

Day 27

The color red tastes
like watermelon during a ninety degree summer day
each bite; wonderfully quenching
heat
falling upwards from an overcooked sidewalk

red, is the warmth on your cheek
when you were too embarrassed
to speak, so instead, you took my hand

red is passion
that tastes like a fresh apple
sugary tears falling from your lips


Thought I would do a poem prompt that asked you to describe your favorite colors taste. I hadn't ever thought of that. Like how green can taste like a honeysuckle or a lime at the same time. I wonder if that composites over time. When you think of what green tastes, is it all the green melons you've ever eaten. Or more all the mint ice cream.

That was a really fun prompt
