A beautifully written sonnet, this seems to be your go-to style, but then we all have strengths and weaknesses, although I've developed that aspect of my style. This is smooth and easy to read, a pleasure to review and very readable, good to see you back, blessings Roy

I sincerely loved how you so eloquently infused those words to create a
wonderful Rembrandt that depicts such a great passion and I again felt this musical rhyme, certainty full of life.

This is certainly lovely and I salute your skill for I cannot write this wonderful type of poetry. Your illustration, of course, pairs perfectly and sets the stage for your words. Nicely done.

You have gone beyond capturing the beauty and passion connected with roses.
Great poetic technique employed here.
Reads well and makes sense.

Our poet bravely challenges the most demanding of verse forms and conquers it with her beautiful images. Her symbol is nothing less than the queen of all flowers and she wins it over to her way of thinking. I am sure she wonders what could be more beautiful in its completeness than the rose. And of course she is aware of the dark side, intrinsic in this flower. It is something all life has to face. I can't help feeling that the last line is a bit of a let-down. -Ekim777

Dear Yeltel - this is such a stunning sonnet, though I must confess I am not really up on the format itself - reading this aloud was perfection. It just slipped right off the tongue. Beautiful imagery, flowing lines and superb rhyme.
Thanks so much for sharing,
Maureen
