I peeked into your port for something to review and I couldn't resist this poem. "Roses are Red" is a classic title for a poem so I wanted to see what you did with it.

The poem has 7 stanzas with 2 lines which have an AA rythme scheme. This helps to establish a nice rhythmic beat while reading it out loud.

The poem has a whimsical theme with it's nonsensical rythmes that makes the reader smile. The opening with a threat to sue, but soon moves on to other comedic dilemmas.

My favorite stanza:
Roses are red; violets are blue.
I just farted, but I see you knew.


The description maybe a little Jr. High juvenile, but it fits in the context of the poem and produces one of those "haha - gotcha'" smiles. *Smile*

Good use of WDC ML to change the font. If anything, I might make the font bigger here on WDC.

My suggestion - well that's tough, because poem has a little bit of everything - good punctuation, nice rhythmic beat, smiles and humors. I suppose my suggestion would be take out the "farted" stanza and then the rest of them poem stays consistent with a "comedic romance/love theme."

A light hearted, fun poem. Well done
