Compose

I inked the stem of a rose
Of which I shall write and compose

A poem for my endless wish
To create the best literary dish

But for each word I write a thorn pricks me
And my blood changes the tone so miserably

Perhaps next time I'll choose to compose
Without a thorned stem inked through a rose
