Maroon (A picture challenge poem)

On you we have seen many colours -
some traditional, black and midnight blue -
but this time, everything's different;
you've stepped out wearing maroon.

Something about this drives us wild,
perhaps because it is new?
Whatever it is, we don't really care,
in our heads, we're ripping it off you!

There may be two others beside you
as you walk the red carpet tonight,
But our tunnel-vision blocks them out,
we seek you out and watch you all night.

There's something about the maroon on you
that emphasises your eyes,
that makes your hair seem lighter;
we notice this and contentedly sigh.

Such minute details, like the colour of your shirt, suit and tie
are locked away in our brains
So that when you step out at another event,
we can share, compare and complain.

There's something different about you in maroon
that changes your face and your ways.
Perhaps it makes you bolder?
Your cheeky press answers stay with us for days!

One thing we do know of you and maroon;
the two go together well.
And no matter what colour your suit and tie,
you will always make our loving hearts swell!
