the exact same shade

Kurt Cobain wrote his suicide note in

wow... you have an excellent way of expressing deep, innermost human depression. blunt, truthful and weighty. especially in so few words.

Oh dear! Cheer up, its spring! Very efficient and evocative writing!

Startling, vibrant, 'gutsy' .. you're one of few who can stop a reader in her/his tracks with so few but perfect words.

[abhas]

you make it sound so simple... so simple... really the first two lines and the last two lines... and the story in between is left for us to comprehend... and i cannot help but applaud the skill of the poet... :)

Red could be a happy, vibrant colour but with reference to Kurt Cobain here the poem turns a quite different corner in that last line. Alot said in a few words but enough left unsaid to leave the reader to ponder.
