    Desert wines are sweet,
    Fine wines are dry.
    I say, "Sod 'em,
    Gomorrah we die."

    Roses are red
    Violets chic
    Who else is glad
    It's the end of the week?
  • Roses are red
    Some bloom in May
    I just read this thread
    For the first time today

    :D :D
  • NenyaNenya All Saints Host, Ecclesiantics & MW Host
    Violets are blue
    Roses are red
    Happy to see
    A new face on this thread.
  • Roses are red
    Blooming before us
    Welcome to the thread

    Roses are red
    SusanDoris a dame.
    I struggled to find
    A rhyme for her name.
  • Roses are red
    This thread makes me smile,
    In difficult days
    That's really worthwhile.
  • Roses are red
    And yellow and pink.
    Let's give all our posters
    A smile and a wink.
  • NenyaNenya All Saints Host, Ecclesiantics & MW Host
    Roses in gardens
    Peat in a bog
    I'm more in the mood
    For a cuddle and snog.
  • Roses are yellow,
    As yellow as butter.
    You set Miss Amanda's
    Petticoats aflutter!
  • Some roses are black
    As black as a tomb
    Could all of you snoggers
    Please go get a room?
  • Roses are red
    Poppies too
    You are just jealous
    no snogging for you.
  • Lily PadLily Pad Shipmate
    Roses are red
    These poems? Oh, groan.
    But some do tickle
    My funny bone.

    Roses love sunshine
    Hostas love shady.
    It would be the first time
    I made out with a lady.
  • Roses are red
    And love soil that is shady.
    Rest assured, dude:
    Miss Amanda's no lady!
  • Roses are red
    Cambridge light blue
    An old rowing gold
    Was part of the crew

    A friend told me this
    I failed to turn on
    To watch the boat races
    On the televis ee on

    Red is the rose
    Fragrant the thyme,
    "Woman"'s a word
    That is hard to rhyme.
  • Red roses keep growin'
    Bad oarsmen go swimmin'
    Easier than "woman"
    Is rhyming with "women".
  • NenyaNenya All Saints Host, Ecclesiantics & MW Host
    Roses are red
    Weeding's a drag.
    More than one woman
    Makes me sound like a slag.
  • Roses are red,
    Violets are bloomin'.
    No need at all
    To stick to a woman.
  • Roses are red
    Some of the time
    "Bloomin'" and "woman"
    Don't really rhyme
  • NenyaNenya All Saints Host, Ecclesiantics & MW Host
    Roses have prickles
    Puppies have bounce
    Perhaps it depends
    On how you pronounce.

    Prickles on roses
    Feathers on birds
    The same could be said
    Of any two words.

    Roses are red
    And keep well on ice.
    Near rhyme's a valid
    Poetic device.

  • Commies are red
    And violate norms
    Near-rhyme's not suited
    To all poem forms
  • Lily PadLily Pad Shipmate
    Roses are red
    A number one gift
    Are you sure you are not too
    Conservative?
  • Roses are red; they grow in this region.
    If I had your face, I'd join the Foreign Legion!

    Flowers have pollen

    Mousethief, are you going to have a pithy party?! Although, it would be a pithy if I didn't get to meet you and your wife sometime!
  • Roses are red,
    Of love they're a token.
    Near rhyme is out --
    The high priest has spoken!
  • Rosé wine spilled so
    go get a sponge
    UK police arrested
    Julian Assange

    Violets aren't fresh
    and he grew a beard
    Americans want to
    jail him for many years
  • Roses are red,
    Near rhyme rules!
    Nice to see it used
    On Ship of Fools.
  • Roses are flowers
    A post is a stanchion
    Near rhyme is grating
    As is bad scansion.
  • Lily PadLily Pad Shipmate
    Roses are pretty
    They bud. They bloom.
    Control what is said?
    No, let's not presume.

  • Roses are flowers
    violets are too
    we rhyme when we want to
    don't like it? you can eat poo!
  • Roses are red
    violets are blue
    Forgive me the fuck
    If I say what I do and don't like
  • Roses are read,
    you like what you do
    And other people people
    are not quite like you.
  • Roses are red
    Carnations are pink
    People are not like me?
    Duh. Really? Ya think?
  • PigletPiglet All Saints Host, Circus Host
    Roses are red
    Violets are blue
    If I were a poet
    I'd have managed to make this scan too.
  • Roses are plentiful,
    You do the math-o-lic.
    I gave it up for Lent,
    And now I'm not a Catholic.
  • NenyaNenya All Saints Host, Ecclesiantics & MW Host
    Perfume from roses
    Merlot from merle
    Some of these poems
    Make my toes curl.
  • Toe curling roses
    Violets that smell
    Some of these poems
    Are appropriate for Hell
  • Roses are red --
    When faded, they're worthless.
    The devil quotes poetry
    For his purpose.
  • Don't cause dissention
    Don't cause a schism
    Apparently the poetry here
    Is above criticism
  • Roses are thorny
    Violets aren't sexy,
    neither's the devil
    But he is quite horny
  • PigletPiglet All Saints Host, Circus Host
    Rose's are red,
    Violet's are blue.
    Mine are pink.

    Your what are pink? :worried:
  • His apostrophes -- blushing out of shame.
  • I assume the apostrophes indicate that Rose and Violet are women who own something that is red or blue respectively, but that the one Piglet owns is pink.
    :wink:

    Roses are red
    Violets are blue.
    Not open to critics?
    I'm sure that's not true.

    Got it in one! :smiley:

    I had a feeling that the Apostropher Royal would have something to say about that one ...
  • Roses are red
    And so's bougainvillea.
    If you were my gal
    I'd want to conceal ya.
