A Love Poem

Roses are red, violets are blue,

Sugar is sweet, and so are you,

Our love will last forever I knew

Because of memories past and new,

My eyes met yours and you said Hello,

Music was playing soft and low,

I heard an Angel whisper to me,

Take her hand and dance away,

It was a feeling, strange as it seems,

Now I know today, it was love at first sight,

How could this happen to me

• I'm not really into poems, but I do have a few favorite poems.
  Famous Sonnet 18 by Shakespeare is not one I'd consider a favorite if it weren't for a couple of special occasions. It's pretty good:
  
  Shall I compare thee to a summer's day?
  Thou art more lovely and more temperate:
  Rough winds do shake the darling buds of May,
  And summer's lease hath all too short a date:
  Sometime too hot the eye of heaven shines,
  And often is his gold complexion dimm'd;
  And every fair from fair sometime declines,
  By chance or nature's changing course untrimm'd;
  But thy eternal summer shall not fade
  Nor lose possession of that fair thou owest;
  Nor shall Death brag thou wander'st in his shade,
  When in eternal lines to time thou growest:
  So long as men can breathe or eyes can see,
  So long lives this and this gives life to thee.
