It can be .....
a declaration of love or some other feeling or state of mind...
a marriage proposal...
a math or logic problem...
an observation...
a poem or song, or neither...
something that rhymes, or doesn't....
a question or riddle...
long or short....
profound wisdom....
sheer fun....
But it HAS to contain 4, 8, 12, 16 (multiples of 4) lines....
It HAS to be original (except where it obviously isn't, if that makes any sense)...,
and It HAS to start with these two words:
"Roses are...."
Have fun.
Oh, and Happy Heart Day.

Roses are red
ReplyDeleteSnow is white
We like to sled
and have snowball fights.
Well, we woke up this morning
at ten till nine,
We looked out the window
and saw the sun shine
on the blanket of white
that covered the pines.
A special Valentine from Someone above:
Our heavenly Father whose name is love.
Roses are red
Snow is white
He rose from the dead
to give us life!
Roses are red
ReplyDeleteSometimes they're yellow
They can be white
Pinned on a fellow.
Red is for love
Yellow marks friendship
White stands for pure
And I need to work on my rhyming. -_-

"Memories are roses gathered in Winter" (Ok, so it's not original and i'm not even sure it's quoted correctly, but it's one of my favorite sayings.

Amethyst, will you marry me?
ReplyDeleteoh, sorry. here we go.
ReplyDeleteRoses are red,
Violets are purple
Amethyst, will you marry me?
I, uh, love you as much as Slurpees.
Just not more.
What else rhymes with purple?
Here is another one since this is such a good assignment.
ReplyDeleteRoses are coal
In a diamond mine
Something will happen
If you give 'em time
(I'm not really sure
What that poem meant
But an elephant's faithful
One hundred percent)
Uh, can you tell us more about Amethyst??
