Blue Roses are Cool

Blue roses are cool. They signify mystery, secrecy, rarity, and so forth. Now, having read differing accounts, I am not sure if blue roses never occur naturally in nature, or if it is just extremely rare. But regardless, pretty much the only way to get a hold of one is to engineer it to have a blue blossom. I've always thought these flowers have a rather fantastical quality to them, and I like deep, rich shades of blue (which is obviously the color a blue rose would be if it did occur naturally :roll:).

All this is to say that I was thinking about it last night, and then wrote this because I felt like it. The lines are in iambic pentameter, and in the course of writing this, I figured out why some of my sonnets sound so awkward. To make them flow nicely, there should be a regular emphasis pattern (iambs for example). Anyway, before I bore you to death, here is the little five line ditty I wrote.



Shrouded in Shadows
The rose that blooms in shades of deepest blue
Does glisten in the silver moonlight due;
A flower that secrets hides within its hue,
Among the trees is seen by wond’ring few;
The rose that blooms in shades of deepest blue.
