Because Daily Nous asked for it.

***

Roses are red
And their redness canonic
I’m longing to take you
To realms less platonic

***

Violets are bled
Roses are rue
Induction’s mysterious
But long live ye and mou

***

Roses are red,
And I’d read rose reviews
But I viewed your red posy
And knew something new

***

Roses are red
Your cat is now too
Signaling’s hard
And so are you?

***

Roses are red,
Romance is too,
But I’ll never know
What red’s like for you
