Arthur Vaso Poet Verse

Notes About The Poem

You Are the One and Only

A dozen of the longest stem red roses I could find
For no expense was too divine
For all the love I had to expose
So immense and eternal as the single red rose

When the clerk smiled her kindly approval
I was imagining her naked in my pool
Seeing her lovely curves and assets too
I was thinking of how a new romance to brew

She asked me if I had any other purchase or wishes
Taken aback I caught my composure
I smiled and said the roses twelve will do me over
She wrapped them up in pretty pink paper

You sure nothing else to go with that?
I thought why yes, as I adjusted my top hat
Give me 12 cards of those over there
That say your the one and only
                 ….with such poetic flair





After that, I do confess
In the shop of flowers so sweet and nice
Was the sound of dead air, you could hear the mice
As it was so so suddenly cold as ice

Sandra Adams February 13, 2016 at 1:59 PM lol you did good with it! Arthur Vaso February 13, 2016 at 1:56 PM You can also see here, http://arthurvaso.weebly.com/current-poems.html Arthur Vaso February 13, 2016 at 1:54 PM Thanks, I actually took a joke someone told me and turned it into a poem, the photos I hope counter the poem, I cant handle more than one women, never mind twelve! :)

Timothy Hicks February 13, 2016 at 10:22 AM Very subtle transition at the end, from the creepier side of things. Maybe I'm going crazy but it made me thing of the commercial aspect of Valentine's day, and how at times, it can seem a bit like a facade (wrapped in pretty pink paper). Again ... excellent job on the twist like your burning poem. Perhaps if you keep this up, I will learn to expect the coming twist and then we will all have to ask ourselves ... is it still a surprise? LOL.

Casarah Nance February 13, 2016 at 7:57 AM so so suddenly cold as ice...chilling ending Arthur. :)

Lindsay Laurie February 12, 2016 at 11:27 PM So, you got caught out Arthur. Too much red wine before the red roses - good one - Lindsay Arthur Vaso February 13, 2016 at 12:04 AM I would have enough trouble handling one never mind 12, but it sure was a fun write!
