Very succinct it may seem, but this tells a lot. The "roses are red, violets are blue" line is too hackneyed and obsolete, that's a fact. You won't write a poem using that as the first line, will you? 'Cause people might just not read your poem at all.

       But in this case, I took the risk. Because poems are meant to be contemplated upon than just be read. It is up to you on how you view this one.
