The tractor is red.
Red does not symbolize my anger,
the tractor does not symbolize the coming of a new age that will,
Pardon the pun,
"Mow" over the old one.
It is a tractor.
It is red.
Why?
Because red tractor sounded better than blue pineapple.

Her hair was white-blonde.
This does not symbolize purity,
Nor does it symbolize icy cruelty.
Her hair is white-blonde.
It just is.

Not everything has hidden meaning,
And searching for words behind words
Leads to arguments and unanswered questions.
When really,
Sometimes the tractor is just red.
The tractor is red,
Or is it?

Someone said once that the phrase "cellar door" is the most beautiful in the English language and I've been trying to find one that matches it forever. I think "red tractor" gives it a run for its money.
great poem! (Sometimes a comment praising a poem is just a comment praising a poem huh)
