Roses are red
Violets are blue
Grass is green
Oranges are orange
London buses are red
Squirrels are grey
Cats come in lots of different colours
So do dogs
Roses are red
Violets are blue
Daffodils are yellow
Oranges are orange
Some roses are pink and some are white
Come to think of it, violets are a sort of purple colour rather than blue
London taxis are black
Comments
In the fierce summer sun.
Behind shutters we're wilting;
drought's also no fun.
Your plums are here
I'm tasting sun
From over there.
Pink, yellow and peach
Let me join in this thread
I do thou beseech
You're welcome to join!
Just jabbed with the Pfizer
(Our lives are such fun).
Roses are red.
Always happy to see
A new name on this thread.
I like them lots
New friends? All good.
Bring what you've got!
Yapping the pup.
I'm rereading this thread
To cheer myself up.
@Nenya sounds blue
Here’s a virtual hug
From me to you.
Green is the bug.
I do appreciate
That virtual hug.
Roses are red
This time of year
My garden looks dead
Snowdrops are white;
They're out in my garden -
A heart-warming sight.
(The snowdrops are out, that is. Not the roses.)
Out there somewhere.
Six feet of snow.
My sight's impaired.
Now this whole thread's read too.
You'd think I had nothing
Better to do!
Roses are red
I hope you enjoyed
Reading this thread.
Violets are pink
I thinnk someone has
doctored my drink!
I really don't mind
But is there a chance
You may be colour-blind?
that's back to what's right
There are plenty of things
wrong with my sight.
For me to see
Violets blue though
Are just right for me!

Roses are red
Violets are blue
At last I have managed
To write a rhyme new!
Quite pretty too.
So many poems
A hallabaloo!
Violets are bluish
Christmas is Christian
The Seder is Jewish.
Lunar New Year too
I'm glad for this.
More fetes! Whoo hoo!
Roses are red
A police helicopter
Just flew overhead
(I can still hear it, but can’t see where it’s gone)
The sky so blue
We've so much snow
What to do? What to do?
Blue is the sea
Today is this thread's
Anniversary.
Grey is the dam
A one-year slow-motion
Poetry slam
On Valentine's Day
I'm sending you heart-love
In rhyme anyway
My scanning is poor
My prosody worse
Never mind! The heart
Beats faster in verse.
So amusing.
Mousethief, that's good!
Rhyming musing.
Violets are blue.
Sending love
Back to you.
Roses are red
Here's some for you
And for shipmates all
So never feel blue
Violets are blue
Grass is green
Oranges are orange
London buses are red
Squirrels are grey
Cats come in lots of different colours
So do dogs
or skies always blue
abandon that rhyme scheme
spike it up green, orange, nut-brown, zebra, brindle or zoo!
Half price today
We're buried in snow
With more on the way
violets are blue
we can make poems
in freeverse too
The ficus is green
it stands by the door
There were plums in the fridge
But not anymore.
Roses are white
And I’m staying in
On this dark windy night
Though we're far apart.
I hope you fare well
And the trees all stay up!
Violets for Cindy
It's dark here right now
But nor rainy nor windy.
Storm winds blew
We all kept safe
I hope you did too
Roses are showy.
Ok so far
But it's still very blowy.
Feathered the hen
I've got a coffee date
With Mr Nen.
Blue is the violet
Golden the hay
We've been married for
Thirty-six years today.
Violents - blue
Mr & Mrs Nen:
Good for you!
And gleam in the punnet.
I often ask myself
How we have done it.
(Thank you @Schroedingers Cat )
Violets bright blue
Blessed is the love
Ever faithful and true
(Mr & Mrs Nen)
Violets are blue
Best wishes to Nenya
And Mr. Nen too!
Swimming the fishes
My thanks to you both
For your kind wishes.
Under skies so blue
People of Ukraine
This prayer is for you
Forget-me-nots blue,
The ones I’ve just drawn
Look like elephants too.
So big. So cute.
Forget-me-nots?
I'm confused. Mute.
Roses are red
Violets are blue.
Wouldn't they look more
Like elephant poo?
Blue is the violet
White is the May.
I hope all involved
Have a good Mothers' Day.
