I know today is for prose.  I am trying to learn how to write hip hop poetry and don't get much help, even from Google.  

If any of you readers have written hip hop poetry you could leave me a helpful comment below. 

Here's my attempt, today's prompt words are the title and first and second lines:

    '…city lilacs 

    release their sweet, wild perfume 

    then bow down, heavy with rain.’ 

    a purple bouquet for you 

    one I cut for you with pain 

    there's much love mixed with my blood 

    mixed in with shiny petals 

    bright red and a bit of mud 

    all from lack of parasol 

    city lilacs traffic dust 

    purple pieces with my red 

    different than the country ones 

    fresh and clean and pure it's said 

    I cut myself with my knife 

    your Valentine worth the price 

_ _ _        

Pretty well does it for now.
