The Blue Rose

Blue velvet was the rose gifted my heart.
Poet was he and blue the blood from his thorn,
a rose as blue as the summer skies
a rose as blue as his ice blue eyes.

Poet was he and blue the blood from his thorn.
So gifted was he with the blue roses form.
a rose as blue as his ice blue eyes,
with thorns as sharp as his beguiling lies.

So gifted was he with the blue roses form
a rose as blue as the summer skies
with thorns as sharp as his beguiling lies.
Blue velvet was the rose gifted my heart.

The pantoum has always been my favorite poetry form. It fits so well with this topic! Enjoyed reading, and thanks so much for the kind words on my fireworks haiku :) Btw, I took your advice about the third-line period! I love it when soupers give me advice. Thanks again, Grace
