Roses Are Red (Pizza Edition)

by The QuillOak Editors

1Roses are red, marinara is too;

2I ordered a large just to split it with you.

3Some people want sonnets, the moon, or the weather —

4but 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.
The poem’s silhouette — approximate syllables per line, measured from the text above. Even bars mean a measured line; ragged bars mean the poem sets its own widths.
