ROSES ARE RED

ROSES ARE RED

(Developed from earlier comments)

 

Roses are red

Your eyes are green

And with their cross-thread

They survey every scene

 

Roses are red

they love horses poo

and I've heard it said

that so do you too.

 

Roses are red

Your eyes are grey

And when we’re in bed

They go any which way

 

Roses are red

Your eyes are green

They reside on your head

With a nose in between

 

Roses are red

Violets are violet

You’re welcome in my bed

Should you desire it.

  • dusk arising

    roses are red
    your eyes show atlantis
    come closer my dear
    says the preying mantice

    roses are red
    your eyes are like pissholes
    get into the kitchen
    and make me some rissoles

    roses are red
    your eyes are dissimilar
    one looks like hitler
    the other like himmler

    roses are red
    your eyes are so grey
    i'm wasting my time
    you told me youre gay

    roses are red
    your eyes are so bright
    i hope they'll look sated
    later tonight

      Great - now it's Teddy's turn.

      • dusk arising

        Roses are red
        Teddy's a bear
        open a bottle
        that one over there

        what technique did you use on your picture Michael?
        it feels, somewhat pixelated
        or
        is it my screen, distorting it..
        just love your range of art
        subtlety, at its most
        accessibly relatable..
        I never feel a sense of pretentiousness
        or elitism, just
        a beautiful questing for artistry's
        whimsical dexterity

          It's fine on my screen - painted in traditional watercolour. - thanks so much LB.

          I'm laughing at your poems and also dusk arising's response! Great job!

          Goodness, what's gotten into all the poet-posters today? Every poem I have opened is about sex. I guess it's not a bad thing. (-:

          • Michael Edwards

            You can't get too much sex - so I don't. 😁😁

            Good ones Michael.
