This sonnet was beautifully written, thank you for sharing. Roses are my favorite flower and I love the emotion you convey as you describe the rose dying. You have such a solid rhyme scheme too.
Have a wonderful day,
Westbrook

Hello Yelena!
Oh! You are a true romantic, and I love your sonnet!
Wishing I had six glittery stars to affix on your offering!
I also love red roses, but I am partial to pink ... :)
Rhythm and message are sublime.
A most exceptional read!

Thank you for sharing!

Gorgeous, and I'm going to become a fan, because I write sonnets too, and they're Tough! I admire your alliteration with the letter 'V', and that line, in particular, is beautiful when read aloud. Listen: The virgin velvet spelled unbroken vow. So, so well done. Good luck to you, and I look forward to reading more of you.

Great poem good rhyme scheme throughout.
Great hommage to the beautiful red rose as it represents so many different things, and can symbolise different things.

Thank you for sharing

Really nice sonnet form here about the meaning and depths of symbolism of a red rose. Favorite lines: The virgin velvet spelled unbroken vow;
Your incandescent glamour took me whole
And ever graceful was your silent bow.
The saddest line might have been: Your petals died, as our discarded youth. Very nice classic style.

Very Good. A good use of the ever popular rose. The comparison of the dying petals with our passing youth was very good. Technically sound, strong ending, with good supporting art work. Great job. Wishing you continued success.

A beautiful poem and a beautiful subject. Superbly crafted and easy to read. I'm not too sure about 'clover' and 'sage'. It sounds a little forced and rushed, but that could just be me. Stay safe and well.

This was very eloquently and melodically written poem with great imagery throughout. I like the thought iof this line; Your petals died, as our discarded youth because it is truth.

Some beautifully expressed ideas in this. I particularly liked the phrasing of "so frail your earthly spree". This is a sonnet where the slightly delayed volta works particularly well. The brevity adds extra weight to that poignant line: "Your petals died, as our discarded youth."
