NATIONAL POETRY MONTH....Day Three





Friday I wear a red shirt and a red wrist band; when I leave the house on Friday I have a red hat on my head.  I’ve been doing the wearing of the red for close to seven years now possibly more.  I wear this to support our troops who are deployed.  On my social media page I post that it’s Friday and the day to wear red. That was my inspiration for today’s three line thought and poem. 
Looking for poets whose last name begin with the letter C I found the following. One was Billy Collins whose work I’ve read before. The other was an unknown to me, Anastasia Clark.  As she seems to be in my generation I decided to pick her.  I found the two poems interesting.  I hope to continue with poets that are unknown to many.  
With many of us being on a ‘Stay at Home’ order due to the Corona Virus, finding new poets to read is something you can do.  
Enjoy today’s poem that is dedicated to our troops.  
Until tomorrow....stay safe. 


DAY THREE.....THREE LINE THOUGHT 

Donning my RED tee shit and a RED wrist 
   band for the day 
   Although I’m not heading out of the 
       house  
          I’m still supporting our troops and    
            REMEMBER EVERYONE DEPLOYED

RED....the color symbolizing the blood shed 
    by those serving in the military
        currently sacrificing their lives 
              for the cause of freedom 

Wearing RED each Friday a way to show the 
       support of troops deployed 

A dress shirt, a blouse, a sweater, 
        a tee shirt, a wrist band, a hat 
   Make the color RED be noticed

Be proud to wear the color 
  Tell others why RED is worn on Friday

   R....REMEMBER 
           E....EVERYONE 
                   D....DEPLOYED 

RED....Wear it every Friday
   For our troops until they all come home
