@Soreth
roses red
violets blue
copulas superfluous
unlike you
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, 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, 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, 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
horrifying doggerel, meta
Roses are red
Humor is all in subverting expectation
Tim Curry is still waiting
In sweet antici-
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, marathon
Roses are red
This rhyme is a chore
Marathon was great
Frog blast the vent core
horrifying doggerel, political
Roses are red
Churches gonna schism
Bezos has too much money
Abolish the capitalism
horrifying doggerel, eye injury
This rose is red
And so is my beverage
I think I'm having
an ocular hemmorhage
work conversation, political joke
Me: "Yeah, I have a document that's always open with all kinds of stuff I might need. URLs for the locator, debugging tricks, the location of the stolen diamonds..."
Z: "You know, I'd like to get in on that...."
Me: "No no, you didn't want in at the beginning, you don't get in on it now. We worked hard for those."
Z: "Listen, I value your work, but now I can just steal the products."
Me: "Capitalist."
Z: "You take that back."
