Roses are red,
Violets are blue,
Sugar is sweet,
And so are you.
-a love poem we should all know
Roses are blue,
and yellow,
and black,
and white,
and just about
any color you can
think of.
*
Violets can be
these colors,
too.
*
As for being
compared to sugar,
it gets a bit complicated.
You see…
Sometimes,
it’s bitter.
Other times,
it’s sweet.
And half of the time,
it’s too much for
anyone to take.
*
And me?
Well, I have my
good days,
and I have my
bad days.
I have my
quiet days,
I have my
chaotic days.
I am not just
sweet.
No, I’m flawed, too.
And I wouldn’t
change a thing
about that.

FPS: The Last Flame Challenge Winners
Welcome to our first Winners Announcement of the year and to the final challenge in the Fall Poetry Series. The Last Flame invited writers to sit with endings, using fire as a central image to consider what remains when something burns out: ash, warmth, memory, silence, or the faint promise of what comes next. The strongest pieces treated endings as gradual rather than sudden, allowing them to flicker, dim, and linger.

You know, this made me think. Who the hell came up with the meanings for each colour of the roses? Like why did everyone decide to follow that? What if I wanna give someone a blue rose just because it's their favourite colour? But thanks to these so called meanings, they'd think I'm being mysterious or hiding something, lol Anyway, sorry for my rant. Loved your poem!
I love the realistic view of both flowers and humans in this piece. Well written.
