Beautifully written sonnet. I love the subject you chose and that you managed to tell a poignant love story complete with heartbreak. Turned a touching twist. Too real ; ( Well done.

-Very nice image, E.M.
-A well written sonnet
to the bright red rose.
-You show the beauty of
the rose in the opening
verses, and then have
a good turn as
"we failed to hear your soft alarm."
-A very good closing couplet,
especially the last line.
-Very well done.
-I will have my sonnet sometime
in Dec.:)

Congratulations on winning the Seal of Quality! Did you try to find a publisher? I didn't hear back from you, but it was after I won this award that I found a publisher for my children's poetry. That award isn't given lightly, and this poem on its own shows your talent. I really enjoyed reading your sonnet, they are such delights to read. Well done, my friend. :)) Sandra xx

Certainly a nice tribute to the flower of flowers. Perhaps a reminder that I have not delivered any to a special lady in a while. It won't keep me out of the doghouse, but it improves the meals. Anyway, nice flow and feel. I enjoyed it.

A fine well metered and rhymed sonnet filled with the charm of a rose, its passion and grace and the sadness we feel when it wilts as all things have to die, much enjoyed, love Dolly x

    Thank you for the great review, Dolly. This poem was a part of Seal of quality collection I submitted to the site. I received it a few years back. I am glad you enjoyed my sonnet.

This sonnet surely reminds me of a master in this form that used to write here. I'm sure this would do him proud.
The form and meter are spot on. A simple idea made lush. No suggestions. The ending is perfect, IMHO

Fresh and elegant--stunning imagery: frail your earthly spree--incandescent glamour--masterful alliteration: virgin velvet spelled unbroken vow. Witty and sly punchline!

I like the two lines, the last two lines and everything in between. You described the process of a rose which has gone through. From fresh and beautiful, it became a sage who is full of wisdom.

Well done.
