Venus Flytrap please..

Does it have to be new? If not, I would like Rose, and I would like to change it to Black Rose. If it has to be new, I'll still take rose, but I'll make it grey instead. :)

"Ivy," for me, please.
But if "Venus Flytrap" doesn't go through, I REALLY want that one.

Thanks.

Snap. Snap.
It's the Venus fly trap.

A carnivorous plant;
Senses the movement...
Before you know it
You are trapped.

Snap. Snap.
It's the Venus fly trap.

Lurking behind shadows,
Lurking behind closed doors
It plans its intent;
You are trapped.

Snap. Snap.
It's the Venus fly trap.

You do not know,
What's around the corner...
One second you're safe - then
You are trapped.

Snap. Snap.
It's the Venus Fly Trap.

Grey Rose

She stands so silently
Amongst a crowd of strangers
Holding a single flower
Unaware of the dangers

Her sloppily died black hair
And scars upon her wrist
Give off evil impressions
That twirl and twist

She steps before the stage
To sing a few lines
Not knowing that this
Could be her demise

She performs while shaking
She sings entirely off key
Everyone before said she was great
She asks, "What's wrong with me?"

The crowd stays mundane
Not making one sound
The only thing that had happened
Was that the audience frowned

The flower in her hand
Was once red and full of life
It turns depressing and sad
As though it's been stabbed by a knife

She's stared at, on stage
She feels as though she's on stilts
And her beauty, like the flower's
Dies once more and wilts

She walks quickly off
And bows her head to pray
A single rose sits in her hand:
Like her soul, it is grey

I'll beat you, Perfectly Imperfect.
Lmao. =]
I kid.
But, it's fine. =] Nice job.

'Iris' please

I thought i had reserved birds of paradise first.. whats going on =(

Wind sweeps through her
Elegant hanging branches,
Empty from the winter's
Perfect snow, a beauty
Imponderable; but she stands
Nervously as the moon breaks and she
Groans - her bark is creaking from the

Wind. Swaying in the breeze she stands,
Impeccable to the naked eye, but in her
Loneliness she bears the mark of two
Lovers, their names flawlessly sketched
Over her aging skin, and she stands
Weak, with her branches hanging low.

Acrostic Poetry is where the first letter of each line spells a word, usually using the same words as in the title.
