Stone Rose Pilot

Ya call yerself Rose
But ya actually Vie
I'm left here ponderin
Wonderin why

Sure ya pretty
Rose suits ya fine
Complexity like wine
There's some fella
I'm sure ya left behind
Him a seven and you a nine

Yet I look
I ain't see no thorns
Even though petals of splendor adorn
A sweet child 
Canadian born
Who looks like a flower
In a field of corn

So you see
I'm here ta dis
I tink ya
A misrepresented flower miss
Or perhaps I mistaken
Ya might be a Mrs.
All I know
Is ya go around 
givin hugs and kisses
In the end 
I m a witness
Maybe it's none a ma business
It may just be ma inquisitiveness

Are ya sure
Ya not a Violet
Or tink perhaps
ya a disguised 
"Stone Cold Pilot"
Pretty with piercing eyes
And glamorous highlights
Writing rhymes in fluorescent red tights!
Keepin fellas up at night
I'm tellin ya
Dat aint right
Yer star
Otta sight
It's just way ta bright!



Getting in on the slam fun, dedicated to Rose!

Richard, this is such a fun tribute to Vie. So it was supposed to be a slam? I am sure she won't take it that way!

This one is fun! Great tribute. Vie is a rose, and violet, and daisy...all the beautiful blooms that soothe, amaze and entice us.

Ever too nice Richard, even with the slam. I'm on the sidelines, waiting for the next poet to come out with his/her own. Yes! Enjoying this immensely...I can see M. Rose did.

This is a most lovely write, Richard! If this is how slamming is, then I do not mind being slammed all the time! Vien is a lovely lady and an able writer. Now...careful...when you leave, don't slam the door:) // paul
