I Have a Red Sister

 

 


 


I have a red sister, a rosy red sister
who goes by the name of Red Red Rose
I’ve never met her, out there in real life,
but here, she’s my sister from her thorns to her toes!


 

If life were a meal, say, of pebbles and stones,
she’s the type of person who'd serve it up real nice-
she’d add almonds, maybe, and piping-hot gravy,
and, knowing her, I believe she would add lots of spice!


 

Yes, Red Red Rose, about you there’s ‘glow’,
(and I do not mean just any old glow!) lol
but a sister to me, and a great one you'd be,
glow or no glow, you’re a good sister to me!


 

So this person you see, here on AP,
invisible as she is behind her heart and her soul,
will rub off on you, will rub off on me,
without Red Red Rose, I would never be me.


 

So hat off to Rose, my rosy Red Rose,
as time marches forward to a rosy new age
we’ll remember our Rose when the spring winds blow,
even though she forgot I’m her brother on her page.  lol


 

That is my sister, Red Red Rose!

    It feels like a great memory

    I know how it feels when somebody steals your sister's heart and you see her completly forgets that you once lived together as brother and sister.
    I like it.

    Thanks

    Great tribute to your sister. Keep writing, this was a really nice poem- good luck in the contest. Thanks for your critique; I’ve changed the bit you suggested. The reason I used present tense was to add power to the piece- you’re right it was a historic write.
    All the best
