Red or Blue

[bena]

I'm new around here, but certainly not new to poetry, and I therefore stick to what I know best when critiquing. Personally, I'm not a huge fan of rhyming, especially not the AABB format because it can be sing-songy BUT I think it works well here. The inclusion of internal rhyme is fantastic. There is some ambiguity (I also don't know what progressive cracks are, but I like it.) Ultimately the assonance and alliteration make this a great effort. I leave the story crit to those who could do much better.
