“Roses Are Red” is my fourth entry for the 5-Day Poetry Challenge:
“Roses Are Red,” by Eric Robert Nolan
Roses are red,
Violets are blue.
This poem doesn’t rhyme,
Motherfucker.

Dennis Villelmi published an outstanding piece last night for his own third entry into the 5-Day Poetry Challenge.
You can find it over at his blog, “a death’s head in green light,” right here:
I am cheating
on the 5-Day Poetry Challenge
merely by adding
line breaks to a sentence.

(I suggest that this piece works on a number of levels, most notably the levels of “suck” and “I am really busy today.”)
