Roses

An acrostic I wrote about roses. Read and tell me what you think. :)

Ready to always hide the blood behind the murder.
Overly happy in the spring, bored and lifeless in the winter.
Stabbing thorns, like knives in a board.
Every girl's dream to receive, killing silently in the dark.
Stalking soundlessly with cravings of bloodshed.

Tell me what you think! :D

This poem was brilliant. Perhaps the Mafia should switch from gifts of carnations to gifts of roses when giving their minions offers that they can’t refuse. I watch just too many of those old gangster movies. This world is not without its thorns.

[Melody]

Hahaha! Thank you. :) I don't see how carnations can be a threatening gift to minions, they're so pretty.

[Aethereal]

They aren’t unless you get one from a Mafia boss. They were a symbol of retribution in those old gangster movies.

[Melody]

Oh. I will have to watch old gangster movies now. I watch a lot of samurai movies, that is my obsession (no idea why).

[Gregory Stires]

This poem is short and straight to the point.i love how you show how roses are just more than a pretty flower but a lethal one.

[Melody]

Thank you. Much appreciated, Gregory. :)

[Gregory Stires]

This poem is very good.unlike the rose being all about good and love,you described what roses represent sometimes.although this poem made me think roses as vain flowers stained with blood from stabbing something with their thorns.

[Melody]

Thank you, Gregory.

[deepblue04]

wow, I never thought roses in this way.... Good job!

[Melody]

Thank you. :)

[Harley (arbiter)]

F*king awesome! I mean really cool.

[Melody]

XD HAHA! Thank you. :)

[Forever Hidden]

Ooooo I love this! And, behind all of it, is a meaning! Am I right?

[Melody]

:) Thanks. And you are. And I promise (just in case) that I didn't murder anybody. XD

[Forever Hidden]

I know. I know...
Murderer!
Jkjk.
Or are you? XD
Lol! jkjkkjkjkjk

[Melody]

I swear I'm not. I have a morbid mind, but personally- I cannot stand the smell of blood or corpses...or anything to do with the sort. Lol

[Forever Hidden]

Just joking around. I should seriously stop joking around with ppl I don't know.. XD

[Melody]

It's fine. I personally always take a lot of things WAY to literal. :P I knew you were kidding though. Lol. I am aware of the jk's.

[A. V. Madison]

Honestly, when I saw the name of the poem, I thought of the song "Roses" by Outkast xD haha but this was honestly an amazing poem!! 100/100

[Melody]

Never heard of it. I'll have to youtube it. :) Thank you.

[Rhea752]

I always thought roses were cliche. this brings a different perspective to the rose and it is amazingly written at the same time!! Keep it up!! :D

[Melody]

Lol. :) Thank you. :)

[NicoleVanityMonroe]

Again, So much meaning. . . And, gosh I haven't any idea how to put into words how good your writings are.

[Melody]

I let it flow.
>.< Thanks. I'm glad you like my work.

[NicoleVanityMonroe]

:) You are very much welcome

I think this is lovely. It brings out all the different meanings of roses and not just the possitive gooshey ones. You really gave the rose an interesting type of drama in very little space. I might be a little biased cuz my middle names rose but I really loved this poem! Now I wont go crazy and say I think its your best one so far because I think we both know its not but it most certainly is very good and has loads of character and thats what is really important anyways! So keep up your interesting writing because doing that will never steer you wrong.

[Melody]

>.< Thank you Hannah! I don't think you're being biased about it. An item and a name are two very different things. :) It's definitely one of my better ones though.
