I found roses when I open the door. Caught my toe on the carpet on the floor. Did he think this was unwise? With a loud thump, crash, and cries Embarrassed sprawled out on the ground, I swore. 2/8/2022 Roses are Red, Violets are Blue - a Valentine Challenge in one of five ways Sponsored by: Andrea Dietrich Used PoetrySoup Syllable Counter 10 10 7 7 10 Rhyme AABBA

Ha ha… and then you make an exaggerated display of ‘What did I trip on!’ And you act all unperturbed. But you can’t wait to get inside and shut the door. Fun Limerick, Eve. Congrats. Terry

Hope the bumps and bruises have healed Eve. So glad you didn't fall on the roses! Delightful in its humor - romantic in its whimsy! Best wishes in the contest and blessings for your bumps and bruises!

Such a great Limerick, Eve! Enjoyed the humour, and the lovely (clumsy - ha ha!) gesture. Hugs ~ Mala

The thought or the pain? Ah, 'tis quite a dilemma. Be forgiving. We guys always screw it up -- just our clumsy nature. What about the other occasion, when the live bee awoke from sleeping in a blossom, when you put them in a vase and took that first, stinging sniff? Jezz! Love it! Joe.

Hahahaha,, never thought of that, but you are right.. Every so often I will find a bug of some sort blossom out. :) Thank you Joe for reading
