.The Pernicious Rose Garden.

Your garden sweet, loving, and rather fetching

This garden bad, dangerous, far from prepossessing;

For what most would expect, one with comfort and hope

Was a pernicious rose garden full of misery and woe

It’s vines swirled and twirled stiffly like a sickly ballerina moving quite iffly

Red petals of hemoglobin, vibrant to the eye

Do refrain from touching them so, I’m afraid you’ll die

Playful vines will grab, twist, and asphyxiate greedily

Perhaps you could escape them if you move sneakily
