Nasser Hussain color poem\FCB

What is red?

A Color poem by Nasser

Red is a heart

Red is the smell of Blood

Red is the sight of a tomato

Red is the taste of a good Book

Red is the sound of nothing

Red is the touch of plastic

The age of Red is as old as time

Red moves like nothing

Red is my favorite color

Students this week perused PoetryFoundation.org. Each one found a great poem. We then randomly chose brackets and pitted the poems against each other. The only criteria was that the person liked it and it is a GREAT poem.

Now we want to see what you think!

Which poem do you think is great in each of the matchups?
