there once was a bloody rose
that always had a bloody nose
people came from miles around
to see it, some said it was a sign
of some kind, why did the roses
poor nose bleed so frequently
what was the cause of such
awful, awkward thing, happening
if it was a sign, what did it mean
everyone loves roses including
me, it's the love flower, given
to each other as a romantic
gesture or those who are
covering up their guilt
with a
bouquet
of long
stems
wrapped
and tied
with a
bow
but
this
rose
had
a bloody
nose
and
no
one
knows
why
I mean
what
was
a rose
doing
with
a
