Example O’Neill, M. (1961). Hailstones and Halibut Bones. New York, NY: Doubleday.
What Is Red? Red is a sunset Blazy and bright. Read is a feeling brave With all your might Red is a sunburn Spot on your nose, sometimes red Is a red, red, rose. Red squiggles out When you cut your hand. Red is a brick and a rubber band. Read is a hotness You get inside When you’re embarrassed And want to hide. Firecracker, fire engine Fire-flicker red--- And when you’re angry Red runs through your head. Red is an Indian, A Valentine heart, The trimming on A circus cart. Red is a lipstick, Red is a shout, Red is a signal That says: “Watch out!” Red is a great big Rubber ball. Red is the giant-est Color of all. Red is a show-off No doubt about it---- But can you imagine Living without it
