Analysis and comments on Red Roses by Anne Sexton

1 [2]

Comment 1 of 11, added on May 10th, 2005 at 10:57 AM.

Red Roses seem to indicate either cigarette burns or whippings from a
belt. Lady Blue seems to indicate that the person was always depressed or
that she left blue bruises on the body. How a son loved his mother so...he
could not turn her in to the authorities for she was his mom

Dame Dana from United States
