roses are red,
let us rush in
where angels won’t tread.

violets are blue.
When I’m an old woman
I’ll dress like that too.

on vines interlacing.

the art of misplacing.

violence is loud.
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
Can I get you a shroud?

Roses are red,
violets are blue,
air is an obstacle
that we walk through.
Alberto Rios
Roses are red,
violets are blue,
the border is what
separates me from you.

Woses aww wed,
but what makes me blue
is I’m SPIDERMAN.

Roses are red,
violets are blue,
still I rise. Can I get
a rise out of you?
