Roses are Red Giveaway

I sent out a newsletter this week with a late Valentine giveaway. You know some people are always a day late and a dollar short. But it’s never too late for chocolate and Valentine hugs. Okay, so I don’t have any chocolate to give you. If I did, I’d eat it myself. But I’d think about you while I was enjoying it! After this week of weather, I think we all need some chocolate! 

But back to the giveaway. Here’s the prize – a heart shaped necklace. It’s really lovely. And to go along with that, the winner will get to choose one of my books. That makes me happy. Then to make it fun, I asked those who entered the giveaway to send a Valentine verse or other poem in too. 

While my very first writing sale was a four line poem many years ago, that was about the extent of my poetry writing. So, since not all of us are poets, I gave entrants the option of finishing this verse:
Roses are red.
Violets are blue.
(Your lines go next.)

I’ve been getting some neat poems. A few poems have been lovely original poems, but most have been simple “Roses are red” poems. Let’s enjoy a few of them.

Susan used a play on words that made me smile.
