“Roses are red”,
with a scent that delights
Giving a dozen,
one feels humble and contrite
Crimson for lovers,
coming straight from your heart
For a girl you just met,
or to make a new start
White shows you purity,
with the innocence of youth
Steadfast in your loyalty,
only speaking the truth
The giving of pink,
tells of joy and of grace
There’s a playful intention,
and a smile on your face
When you exhibit desires,
showing warmth as it were
Orange are the roses,
I think most will concur
It is yellow for friendship,
not specifically love
Sending out the same meaning,
as a pure snow white dove
And for daddy’s little girl,
on the most special of days
Are the pink and red rosebuds,
they say all there’s to say

Roses are red,
but you forgot one fashion.
Emo send 'em with the petals ripped off,
now isn't that passion.
