Roses are Red…
We are trying to get into the Valentine’s spirit here are Kennedy Violins by writing a lovely little poem about how much we love violins, violas, cellos, and music but, we have writer’s block!  Maybe you can help.

Submit a Valentine’s Day poem to our facebook page!  We’d love to hear your sonnets, odes, and perky limmericks.  To sweeten such a sweet request, we will pick a winner from all the poems submitted by midnight (PST) on Tuesday, February 14.

The winner will be announced on Wednesday, February 15.  The winner will have their choice to receive a set of D’Addario Helicore strings, a Music Doctor Metronome/Tuner, or a Portland Acoustical Shoulder Rest.

*Please note: to qualify, a submission, must be posted on the Kennedy Violins facebook page.  The poem must be an original work of the person submitting it and can’t have been previously published.*

For inspiraton, please enjoy these classic Valentine’s poems:

Roses are red.
Violets are blue.
Sugar is sweet.
And so are you.

Roses are blue.
Violets are red.
If you agree,
You’ve got rocks in your head.

Roses are red.
Violets are blue.
Please don’t kiss me,
‘cuz I have the flu.
