Roses can symbolized how love is so short even if lasts a lifetime. Time is relative, so no matter how beautiful a rose is, it will wither and die like everything else. So we should enjoy every moment.

Welcome.
Comment from adewpearl
solid rhyming in good English sonnet form,including the clever proximate rhyme of truce/youth
lovely alliteration in phrases like virgin velvet
and excellent descriptive detail with strong sensory appeal
excellent consonance of soft S sounds in souls' unspoken truce
soulful expression of emotion in a well-composed sonnet

Thank you so much for the great review, Brooke. This is one of my own favorite sonnets, perhaps because a rose is my favorite flower!

Hi Yalena,
I haven't seen a poem from your talented pen for some time and hope you are well. You have chosen expressive words, the flow is smooth, the iambic pentameter is spot on, good alliteration in red/rose and the theme is excellent. This metaphorical poem is well written and compelling. Well done....blessings, chey

Thank you so much, Chey! I haven't "seen" you around either. I am doing all right, though I should push myself to post more often.
This sonnet is from my Seal of quality collection, I originally wrote it in 2008, and wanted to promote it now. I just love sonnets. You know my weakness (smile)

Sonnets are my weakness too!
Comment from Starlit Ink
This is a lovely delicate and excellent sonnet. The rose is a classic, with it's timeless beauty that adorns our seasons and occasions. Your eloquent wording pays tribute to the flower that we all adore. The ending couplet is magnificent.

Thank you so much, Sally. Coming from you, it means a lot.
What is a treat to me is a well metered rhymed poem. I have that - and it guarantees good mood for least an hour (lol)

To yeltel,
You stealthy poem describe the disillusionment that is taken when one falls hard for another's adoration only to discover it was all a facade.

Comment from Margaret Snowdon
I so enjoyed your sonnet about
the rose - the emblem of love -
the content, the flow to the words,
and to both rhythm and rhyme, all
excellent - all in all, most
impressive.
thank you for sharing this, Yelena.
