RED and WHITE

RED and WHITE

A Poem by Olive Belikov

Girl of red
Girl of white
A girl whose heart 
Knew no right

Through the woods
Her feet did run
Without a leash
She knew all fun

Cape of red
Skin of white
A wild girl
The wolf of night

Sweet in day
With ivory smiles
At night she ran
She ran for miles

The hunters watched
The woods in dark
To make her blood
Leave its mark

She was too quick
Her feet too fast
Her fur the color
Of a grand ship mast

Until the man
The man of death
Came to kill
And take her breath

And that he did
With guns of hate
And speed the girl
Didn't compensate 

Girl of red
Girl of white
A girl whose eyes
Were the only light

Until the white
Turned into red
The girl, the wolf
Now rests in bed

Excellent theme, i love the twist at the end.

Great twist to the tale of Little Red Riding Hood. Great flow of words, and the rhyme definitely works here.
First stanza... thought you were going to talk about wine!
Nice writing.
