Beware if you haven't seen the film American Beauty yet! There are spoilers here!


The
Roses
Were watching.
Centre eyes stared,
Peeking from petals
As he gazed gleefully
At the family portrait.
He beamed blissfully, unaware
Of the danger lurking behind him.
The roses witnessed the spattering blood.


Form: Etheree - 10 lines. Syllables: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10
Element: Personification.
Optional prompt: 'Every movie you watch has a favorite scene. What makes it your favorite and why? Use this as inspiration for your own little tale.' (I sort of used it!)
