Roses are Red, Violets are blue... Part Deux

Your panties are red
Your stilettos are black
Rubbing against you
I shot in your crack
 
Roses are red,
Violets are blue
True that our rhymes
Don’t stink until we obviously get it wrong.
Wait, sometimes they do. 🤷
 
Roses are red,
Jett's love is true.
When I write this shit
It's all just for you!

:rose:
 
(Jett is away this week tutoring at poetry summer camp)

So, welcome everyone.
We're going to start with a basic form.
It begins,

Roses are red,
Violets are blue

The first two lines are thus a couplet with four syllables each.
The final two lines are also a couplet with either four or five syllables each.
And the rhyming form is ABCB but can also be ABAB.

Remember this is a light-hearted poetic form in which you can infuse romantic emotion with a sense of fun.
So have a go and I'll provide you with feedback.

Your poem
Roses are red
Violets are blue

OK, well it's a start.​
I can see the thought you've put into it.​
Let's try getting more syllables into lines three and four.​

Your poem

Violets are blue

Yes, correct - and matching number of syllables, in lines three and four.​
Well done.​
Have a go at rhyming the second and fourth lines.​

Your poem

Violets are blue
Yurr phat ass real fine

Feedback:
Er, nicely done.​
And you've maintained the syllable count.​
Let's continue to work on the spelling.​
What about a more light-hearted approach to your romantic gesture?​

I really didn't think it would be this hard.​
Just two lines!​

Unbelievable.​
I don't get paid enough for this shit.​

(PS: Jett is not a poetry tutor. Nor is he at summer camp. But he is on a short break.)
