[tangent] All cryptic crosswords need an anagram or three.
We download the crosswords from the Grauniad online, as they're free. The DT and the Times charge for membership - stuff that for a lark! Anyway, I think the Grauniad ones are better - they're more devious!

Violets sweet.
I'm feeling refreshed
Having been on retreat.
Violets are blue
A rest is good
Lucky for you!
Roses are red
It’s like an exam
It’ll do in your head!!

It's senseless, but well
It's easier too!

Green is the tree
SusanDoris has
Completely lost me.
Their death a great sorrow
A new red rose tree
I'm planting tomorrow!
Don't think me a rebel
But take "ue" from "are blue"
And you get "violets arebl"
Roses are red
Could've got 'em cheaper
off dodgy old Fred.
Strawberries too.
It's Wimbledon fortnight,
So let's have a few.
Slugs are a menace.
I can't say I'm very much
Into tennis.
Blue is the violet
Purple the plum,
Strawberries though -
Yes, give me some!
Raspberries too
No stalks to shed
I'll have more than a few

Red is the rose
Green is the leaf
Raspberry seeds
Get lodged in my teeth.
Young the apprentice,
Get rid of those seeds
By floss, or a dentist.
Golden the wheat
Brits are moaning
About the heat.
Blue is the violet
Sparkling the gem
It's more fun than moaning
About the PM.
out in the rain
leaders of 2 countries
share just one brain
It's not a big brain
nor terrifically smart
It's the sort of brain
that's quite prone to farts

Roses are red
An invite for you
Join the (Ship’s in case you thought was it was something more serious) party in Heaven
Go on why don’t you?
Roses are red
It's been a month since
The last post on this thread.
Roses are red,
That's cause I'm feeling
A little bit dead.
Roses are red
Poetry active
on more than one thread.
Violets are blue,
Poetry enhances
Our Biblical view.
The Rose of Sharon,
She was part of
Solomon's Harem.
Roses are red,
Lilies are white,
Gabriel gave Mary
A terrible fright.
The blossom was pink
On the Tree of Life,
Eve picked the flower,
No more strife!
Among the flowers arranged
While the thread has been quiet
The world hasn't changed
Roses are bloomy
Try to be upbeat
Not so dang gloomy
gleaning the barley,
Found a husband
and then lived securely.
Violets are blue.
The desert shall blossom,
If Isaiah is true.
Violets are blue,
Roses are red.
Men flourish like grass,
And then they are dead.
Lilies are white,
They toil not nor spin,
Solomon's glory,
Just couldn't win.
The tomb was empty.
Mary met Jesus,
It surprised her plenty.
many short verses
There's no competition
there's clearly no versus
Violets are blue.
Theology is fun,
And so are you!
And so are some curses
My favorite album
By Pearl Jam is Vs.
Some psalms are blue.
But cursing psalms
Are an overdo.
That I have read
Like dashing on rocks
Somebody's kid's head
Carnations are too
The blood on my head
Congeals just like glue
Are my cup of tea.
Beside the still waters,
My God and me.
Who do we see?
The exiles of Babylon,
Their harps in the tree.
A new day is dawning
How lovely to see
These poems this morning.
What does it mean?
God is on Trial -
Job is aggrieved!
presents Christ the Messiah
as a ransom for many
and a servant - pariah.
But the gospel of John
presents Jesus the Christ,
through the Signs of His glory,
as the grace that sufficed.
for the Jewish nation,
describes OT prophecy
fulfilled by quotation.
But the gospel of Luke
with Gentiles in mind,
has a storytelling Saviour
who is universally kind.
Words may be pretty
But parts of the bible
Are really quite sh*tty
Weeds epidemic
Some poetry threads
Are too academic
to the Rule of Faith,
Polycarp kissed
Ignatius' chains.
Truth is determined
by its longevity,
But do not deny
the Spirit's creativity.
As a female Christian
I'm conflicted on Paul -
his Letters to Timothy
make me feel small.
A better hermeneutic
is what we seek:
Both 'for the Jews
and for the Greeks.'
All through the Bible
A hurricane here
Now then, who's liable?
where God is on trial:
God made the world -
but the weather is vile!
Roses are red
Jammy Dodgers are jammy.
I'm sorry that things
Are hard for you, Lamby.
Roses are pinky
and smell of poo
When life is stinky
We are here for you.
Dead leaves are crackly,
SC has expressed
My feelings exactly.
