Challenge
Write your best "Roses are Red..." poem.
Blood stained Rose
Dipped in blood
The roses are red
Stained with my life
Or she’ll chop off my head.
Cut myself with a knife
And watch the blood slowly drip
Onto the petals of a rose
Through my fingertip
Black was what originally we chose
To match the darkness of her heart
Some were white
To try and break the darkness apart
Now the roses are red to match her appetite
But the colours beginning to crack
We bleed ourselves dry to help with the show
Underneath still, they are black.
