This is an addition poem starting with one letter in the first line and adding one additional letter in each subsequent line.
O,
to
be a
girl
in red,
waving
a hand or
blowing a
kiss at you,
as the train
takes me away.

This poem reflects the feelings I had when my husband was first receiving invitations to travel and give talks, and I wasn't, even though we'd been educated at the same top colleges and were in the same profession. I've since gotten over the resentment and had my own small successes, but I still wear red when I want attention.
