Hi,
This is a nicely done poetic biography of Red Skelton. I didn't know much about him. He was before my time. I like that you chose his name and the color of the background as part of the prompt. The only other person I know with a similar name would be Redd Foxx.
Keep writing and stay healthy.
Have a great day and week
Good luck in the contest.

I will confess to my ignorance. I couldn't for my life name the actor you're writing about. I recognise the face, but I'm none the wiser. I loved your well written poem. All the best of luck. Ulla:)))

I loved watching Red Skelton on television. My parents didn't let me see much, but he was one. His skits and his humor were beyond the norm. He will always remain awesome.

Wow. Bringing back the old memories! I loved Red as a child. He seemed like such a kind man and he was so funny. Great poem. You really incorporated all the things I remember about him. Nice job.

I knew exactly where this was going, mystery writer, and in red, my favorite color. Really any hue especially pinky red. I so miss Red Skelton. I'm remembering when TV was good and worth watching. I'll watch for the contest. Sending you a virtual six and my very best.

It is and was hard to beat the Red. He was amazing with his characters of Clem and many more. The hobo was also great. Glad you honored this man. He was a jewel. Thank you.

I really enjoyed your poem. I liked Red Skelton. A clever way to use the word red. Your description of him is very good. Good luck in the contest. Great job.

I watched the Red Skelton show devotedly. He was my guy. Some of the funniest jokes and skits ever, all while being surgically clean. That takes real talent. I read somewhere that his jokes were clean because during the days leading up to the show's taping he got all the raunchiness out of his system. I do not know how true this is, but this, in and of itself is quite amusing.

My uncle died a few years back, age of 100. On one of my last visits with him he complained about television. He said he wished he could watch Red Skelton agin.

Watching my DVD collection gives me much joy. So, I know how he felt.
