Thanks for the challenge Rosemary You've caught me on a weird day my brain feels sticky and my heart feels quite dark, but this is what comes up for me today! Some Nic related some not. Violets are blue and roses are red I'm moonstruck so tell me to get in your bed
My heart is hot red Your eyes aqua blue Forget about violets I only want you
I am dark red And you are dark blue When we come together It's a deep purple stew (substitute the 't' for 'cr' if you like)
The roses are red But my heart is blue The flowers were dead On the day I lost you
Roses are all colours Violets are not blue I'm kaleidoscopic rainbows When I think of you

Ok who's up for a Challenge with the all time classic "Roses are red; Violets are blue..."? This time it's themed so your poems have to be about love. Be it dating, marraige, broken hearted or (if you must) sex! For those of you who like the Nic side of life, you can work Mr Cage in there somewhere as well.
Here are some samples that I came up with (And you can tell from this that I was extremely bored at work today ):
Roses are red Violets are blue The Male Species They just don't have a clue!
Roses are red Violets are blue Judge him by the size of his heart And not by the size of his shoe
Roses are red Violets are blue The Florist on Valentine's Day Is the world's biggest queue
Roses are red Violets are blue In heaven, there are angels; On earth, there's you
Roses are red Violets are blue We married in a hot-air-balloon Because she wanted the view!
If you need help rhyming with blue, try looking up a rhyme dictionary. I didn't have one so I had to use my imagination, but I know they exist because I've seen them around at the library. I'm not sure if they have online versions. Worth googling and seeing if they exist. Or you could try using partial rhymes like "moon" and "spoon".
Otherwise Please do enjoy yourselves. Hope you guys have a lot of fun with this one.
