Poet's note: This was written originally nearing the end of 2020. However, I was only able to finish today, February 21, 2021.
It began with 3 stanzas that was finished with an extra 9. I will leave it to the readers to identify the old and new parts.
Red Turned White is an enjoyable exploration of my mind, especially during the beginning of me writing it. That is why I chose it as my second published piece.
