Roses are red, Violets are blue, Lines one and three don’t rhyme, But lines two and four do,

I thought the question was about accuracy regarding the color?

Roses are red, Violets are violet, When they remodel my kitchen, It had better be skylit,

ACTUALLY it is not the flowers that have color but the light that the flowers reflect come on neil
-
ACTUALLY it's not the light that has color but rather our perception of the light in our brain that has color
-
(ACTUALLY the subjective experience of color cannot arise from the chemistry of the material brain)
-
So ACTUALLY the mind is immaterial and only thereby perceives the colors of the flower...
-
(so the naming is subjective? ACTUALLY it seems very unlikely our minds do not seize upon the same reality thereby allowing us to give our separate private perceptions of certain hues shared names with reasonable confidence)
-
(But ultimately, the mind of the artist seeks not merely to name but convey deeper reality, and the word "violet" may not be suitable to the ends the poet sees in his rhyme. ACTUALLY.)
-
So, actually, the realest thing is a mind's purpose in digging at the deepest subterranean meanings hiding beneath the merely sensuous surface reality. Keep it real, Neil.
