Purple

Roses are red, violets are blue

(except they’re not—they’re purple)

I've started to write a poem for you

But nothing rhymes with purple

Unless you go with slurple,

Or chortle, turtle, warble, girdle

Or a slew of other rhyming words

(But this is getting quite absurd)

I would have rather much preferred

To not begin with purple.

Six months with the same blue-eyed guy that still laughs at me, loves me, and makes life better in his own unique way. These are the first few lines of something I tried to write for our anniversary (how strange, to be saying that!), and let me tell you, it goes downhill from there. But I enjoyed myself. ;)
