Ruby Red with Roses!

Missing image

Dedicated to the forlorn!

 


Red are roses and so is her hair,
But why does Ruby Red despair?

Her wedding day should have been loving,
But far from that was soul destroying..

His previous lover could not let go,
Let him marry her, his lovely new beau..

So into the church came his ex,
Shot husband to be strong her vex.

She died.

    Even anonymous, I'd know your writting anywhere Kaz A wonderfully dark tale with a creative twist. Well concieved, well written, and captivating from beginning to end... a few strecthes for the rhyme but we all do A wonderful and worthy entry! All my best...

    wow. this is a very dark poem. the ending was different, I like it a lot.. such a sad day when it was supposed to be happy. tragedy, this is an outstanding take on the prompt.

    good luck

    I like the twist on the ending. The brevity of it give the whole piece the twisted panache that it needs to be original and down right great! Great job.
