Roses aren't all red,
Violets are never blue.
As I've grown to see
Those things were never true,
How could it really be
That our love was too?
Hello I'm here to review your poem 
Such a short poem yet so good!!
I really love this.
In twenty eight words you created something so beautiful. It truly made me think.
There's so many things to think about this poem and wow I dont know, while I thought a lot it also left me completely speechless.
there's no grammatical or spelling errors.
overall very well written piece. honestly a favorite of mine and I definitely look forward to reading more from you!!
have an amazing day!

Short and sweet!
Although there is very little imagery used, it allows the reader to create their interpretation of the poem, and it also avoids the 'telling instead of showing' error that happens to so many writers. I agree with rosette below about the repeated use of 'never', therefore you could adjust the line 'Violets are never blue' to 'Violets aren't all blue'; this adds to the emphasis of the first two lines as they are then very similar.
Maybe you could add a couple of lines on to the end to develop the last two lines further, just to create more imagery and not be too vague with the poem. Other than that, you've done a super job with such few literary techniques and words used. Well done! 
Good morning, Werthan!
This is merely rosette dropping in for a quick review.
Actually, my 100th review - WHAAA??!! Yay for me!!! *throws confetti*
Anyway. Excuse me.
To begin with, I like how you opened this poem. You hear that roses and violets phrase everywhere, and while it is pretty cliché, I appreciate your twist on it. I think I need to make a correction on that second line, however. While violets are typically purple, there are blue ones, too! They also come in yellow, white and cream. It varies, as it does with the rose.
Now for some Serious Critiques
*attempts to look solemn*
Roses aren't all red,
Violets are never blue.

Hello there!
Luata here to leave a review. It's a bit early in the morning here, so if I start to ramble, please forgive me. I'm still a little groggy. I'll jump right into it, though, so onward and upward!
My first impression of this poem is that it is just a little cliche. The play off of "Roses are red and violets are blue" has been done before. Perhaps on this site, perhaps not, but I'm sure that I've seen it somewhere. And any poetry about love or the notion of love, or relationships struggles to find a place without being cliche, I think. It's such a well-written topic. Of course, I mean no offense to you; I have my fair share of cliche works (I mean, honestly, just click over to my portfolio. My writing from two years ago? Heaven save us.)
Continuing on, this line gave me a bit of pause: "And no violet's really blue". More specifically, the part that gave me pause was "no violet's". I think you could reword that to get rid of the "no" but still have a good line that follows the syllable patterns and the rhyme that you've already set up in the poem.
The last two lines were the one that made it kinda cliche, but you certainly got your point across and I applaud that you did that in so few words.
I hope that this review helped a bit. Please keep in mind that these are just my opinions and I hope that you take them with a grain of salt. If you ever need another review, just drop me a line!
Have a wonderful day!
