A Florist In Nice

Roses and some violets, I'd say,
Make an especially nice bouquet
A florist in Nice
Used some in his piece,
But his customer refused to pay!

FIRST PLACE WINNER
written February 7, 2022
especially for "Roses and Violets Five Ways" Poetry Contest

Terry Flood Date: 2/7/2022 2:06:00 PM Didn’t pay? I hope he knew where to shove those thorny roses. Terry Login to Reply L Milton Hankins Date: 2/7/2022 4:11:00 PM I don't know, Terry. I think it was the violets in the bouquet that annoyed him.

Caren Krutsinger Date: 2/7/2022 11:05:00 AM What a mean person to not pay. Good luck in the contest. Login to Reply L Milton Hankins Date: 2/7/2022 12:17:00 PM I can only hope. I wrote a Sijo, too, but I really liked this better, so I submitted it. Andrea is very, very exacting and rightly so. That means her winners are really deserving!

Mystic Rose Rose Date: 2/7/2022 9:41:00 AM Shame on them, roses are costly ! Winning wishes dear Milton Login to Reply L Milton Hankins Date: 2/7/2022 9:46:00 AM I couldn't agree more, Mystic Rose Rose. He needs to put it in the window, and someone will come along who loves it! Roses and violets are so darned hard to work into the limerick meter! da DUM da da DUM da da DUM. Dumb!!!
