Variations of Rot


The color red is love, and passion.

But scarlet is razors and violent outbursts.

Maroon reminds  me of my favorite sweatshirt

  and the hair color of a boy I pursued in 6th grade.

Dark red is being frightened by all the blood.

Red satin is Lucy,

  phenomenal in a quiet way.

Red-orange is fire;

red with black lines

  brings Spiderman to mind.

I used to have an account under the name "The Frozen Arsonist" when I was a teenager and just wanted to start over, but you can check that out if you want to see earlier content
