Red Flag Collector

Maybe It’s Me

By Kelli Sheckler-AmsdenPublished about a year ago 1 min read

I’m a red flag collector

A bad choice projector

My hearts one protecter

Though I’ve sure let it down

A bad behavior acceptor

Though they shine like reflectors

I pursue the rejectors

Like I'm some sort of clown

I fall for the lies

Buzzing round' me like flies

Wearing red colored ties

To match my rose-colored gown

I seem to fall for the guys

Who masquerade in disguise

A parting gift prize

Can someone please help me out?

Cause I think I might be color blind

I find I'm way too inclined

To become intertwined

Till my esteem is burned down

I'll wave my white flag

Till each loser is tagged

I'm taking me back

There's a new me in town!

    Love that rhyme structure. This poem has bounce (or, bounce back!)

  • Lol, I'm that clown too. I'm not colour blind but my favourite colour is red, so there's that 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

    No, you are not colorblind, but the red reflectors really are red roses in disguise. Love the rhyme scheme.
