Roses

- Erin

Red, red roses
A vanilla speck amidst
They pile around the room

It says, "Love me"-is there a
Comma missing? Who gave me
Red, red roses?

Thornless, guileless
Heaps of crimson and maroon
They pile around the room

Red for passion, no white for
Purity of intent. Such
Red, red roses

No clue to the sender, no clue
To the meaning-I'm frozen
They pile around the room

Who would do this?
Who would send me such
Red, red roses?

They pile around the room.
