Roses Are Red (Pizza Edition)
Roses are red, marinara is too;
I ordered a large just to split it with you.
Some people want sonnets, the moon, or the weather —
but real love is pizza, hot, eaten together.

How this poem works
Measured from the text on this page, not copied from a summary. Counts are approximate: syllables and rhymes come from the CMU Pronouncing Dictionary, which models General American English, so dialect, older pronunciation, and performance can all change what you hear.
- Shape
- 4 lines · one 4-line stanza
- End rhyme
- AABB — couplets.
- Line length
- Lines run 10-12 syllables (median 12), consistent with hexameter. No single length dominates, which is normal once elision and contraction are in play.
