Very effective this, Lynn. Rose tinted specs at the ready!
I think what makes it compelling is the letter P recurring in the first line. Clever If intentional , and fortuitous if not.

Rob - when I checked the definition, it says deep red so maybe you had a point after all, ha ha.
Lynn - enuff said!

Thanks for comment, Rob. It's a picture of our street, and the flowers are actually redder than it looks in my photo. I took crimson to be deep pink, or pinky red, which is pretty much the colour of the flowers. Perhaps I ought to take a better photo! ha ha.
Lynn - I like the poem but always thought crimson was red. Perhaps you could consider fuchsia (still fits)?

Thank you, Ray, for your kind comments. The first three words with the recurring letter P just came to me as I looked along the street, and as I thought it worked, it stayed. Whether that makes it clever or fortuitous I will leave for you decide. :o)
