Red is My Wagon
Red is my wagon.
Beautiful and shiny and hopeful. A whole world of endless adventure, only a empty pavement road away. My wagon flies through the street, racing away from all my fears. I´m invincible on my wagon. Unstoppable and all-powerful. The wind crashing on my face, like waves hugging a beach shore. It feels like it will never stop climbing to new speeds, endless highway of youth. The gateway ticket to a world of happiness and sunshine. A joyride cruising on the street, nothing in sight except fun times desperately waiting to be had.
Red is my wagon.
Red is my childhood.
What's yours?

This piece was inspired by hearing people making fun of poetry, using lines like "Red is like the sun...Blue is like the sky..." This piece, Red is My Wagon, is a combat to the ideal that good poetry has to be complex and symbolic. It is not the contents of the poem, it's what the reader takes away from the piece.
