Roses are red
Violets are blue
I've forgotten what comes next
something something rhymes with blue

horrifying doggerel, eye injury 

This rose is red
And so is my beverage
I think I'm having
an ocular hemmorhage

horrifying doggerel, political 

Roses are red
Churches gonna schism
Bezos has too much money
Abolish the capitalism

horrifying doggerel, marathon 

Roses are red
This rhyme is a chore
Marathon was great
Frog blast the vent core

horrifying doggerel, cooking 

1 cup roses, red
Half cup violets, blue
There's nothing like flower soup
When you're down with the flu

horrifying doggerel, meta 

Roses are red
Humor is all in subverting expectation
Tim Curry is still waiting
In sweet antici-

re: horrifying doggerel, meta meta 

This is just to say

I have eaten
the roses
you kept in
the icebox

and which
you were definitely
mistaken
in putting there

They're roses
what's wrong with you
they don't belong in the icebox

what do you mean what's wrong with me

I ate the roses
I had to
that's how the rhyme begins
yes the thorns hurt a lot

we do foolish things for love

re: horrifying doggerel, poetry deep cut 

Roses, they're red
Violets aren't actually blue
We're sure doing an awful lot of enjambment here when
We leave stuff uncompleted until the next line's through

re: horrifying doggerel, off the rails completely 

Roses are red,
Violets are blue
Having produced the set-up couplet
I can do whatever I want afterward
Look here's a fifth line to the poem
In this essay I will (cont'd)

re: horrifying doggerel, the art form 

The first line ends in red
The second line ends in blue
But this form is like a sonnet
There's a lot of exploration you can do

re: horrifying doggerel, the art form 

@Soreth
roses red
violets blue
copulas superfluous
unlike you

re: horrifying doggerel, the art form 

@typhlosion Oh marvelous :D

re: horrifying doggerel, the art form 

@Soreth

Roses are purple
Violets are green
Something is wrong
With the TV screen

re: horrifying doggerel, cooking 

@Soreth flower soup is just herbal tea
