Poetry Portal?

Since we're working on sculpting our own poetry anthologies, it's time to start formally sharing our masterpieces. Post what you believe to be your top three (3) poems.  Feel free to provide constructive feedback to your fellow poets once you've posted.  There is no maximum limit to the number of poems you can post - so use those around you to help strengthen your work.

Drop the Gloves (Installment #1)

Drop the Gloves’ is a new thread where creative ideas rule. Simply stated, two opposing items will face-off against one another. Your job is to simply pick the item you like best and get creative with why it is better than the other. Your ideas must be realistic and exist in our known world. However, imagination, careful planning, and effort could help lift your side to victory. Thinking outside the box and defending why you like your choice is critical to success here (Associate your colour with other things – not just a colour – see image).

Which colour do you think is better - BLUE or RED?
