Enough!

ENOUGH! Hark ye preachers of doom lovers of despair Enough about the blue rose! Enough I say enough! Enough about that harbinger of heartburn that flatulent burner of forehead and cheek that lurker in tenebrous places – abandoned old houses banks of the Styx That lurker must die of morbid thirst! I champion I give you the white white rose that late light comer brightener of every corner that white hope when hope is nearly gone Hear you serial moaners weepers groaners Behold if you dare (I think you secretly love your blue misery) Behold the white white rose

I'm with you, Daver. Too many "serial moaners, weepers and groaners." Thanks for pointing out that not all poems have to have that "poor me" nature. Very nice! Love, Carolyn

hahaha. I don't care if you want to diss my blue rose, Daver. It doesn't exist anyway. Just like my poor unicorn, but I can always dream. White rose is also gorgeous. And I really like your poem here. LUv, Andrea
