Sonnet: Meter's off but tongue planted firmly in cheek, I ask what you think of this?
If Shakespeare Got Caught Cheating On His Girl, A Sonnet
I cannot sing a song for you today,
No music can I gift to you, I feel
As though I’ve failed and now in great dismay
Am humbled and can only stop and kneel,
And like a sword from knight to royal queen
Do I present to you a single rose
And hope that in your heart you will then glean
Wherefore the yellow flower I had chose,
Whose pedals were the colour of the sun
And thorn as sharp as eyes of my desire,
Admit to God you are the only one
I love, ev’ though she had stirred my fire.
So with this man will you agree to live,
His passions, you graciously forgive?
No Granny, pedals who an oops on my part: My kingdom for an editor!

I like off meter and I like yellow roses and if Shakespeare cheated on me, oh my would he be in the thorns....
No music would I gift to him that day
except to send his poetic **** on its way.

'pedals'? is that the American word for 'petals'?...some-one else used it in a similar context...and I thought it was a mistake that time.
I reckon that you were doing purty well until 'Wherefore the yellow....' the strain on the brain is enormous, isn't it? And then you get tired and the poem fights back.
I bet Shakespeare frequently got caught cheating on his girl....wasn't that the plot of some of his plays? (said she in total ignorance).

I like this, it is a fun read, but now that I have looked at the yellow rose, I wonder....
Yellow Roses: Yellow roses indicate friendship and freedom ― so don't send them if your intentions are romantic and long-lasting. Yellow roses are also appropriate for sending congratulations to newlyweds, graduates, and new mothers.

Shakespeare would have loved this! I won't mention the pedals as Granny got here first! I love this sonnet!!

this is wonderful. I like the yellow rose as you describe it. With poem, yellow rose is fitting as you are not only asking for forgiveness but to regain the trust as a friend/lover.
it sings!
