Hello Yelena,
You written an excellent sonnet with wonderful imagery
of the eternal rose of romance. The thorns are warnings,
but the petal's life is short, hopefully, love will last much longer.
You have an excellent Volta turn in stanza three
and the couplet is a nice reflective thought.
The Iambic pentameter reads well.
Congratulations on the seal of excellence.
Best wishes to you.
Robert

Comment from Kate Magoffin
Well done for meeting all the requirements of a sonnet. This is a beautiful poem. It is implied that the rose is lost "in timeless reverie" (2nd line), whereas it is the beholder. Perhaps you could change to wording here to make it clearer. Thanks for sharing. I am inspired by this sonnet to try writing one myself. Kate

You have picked the perfect picture for this exceptional sonnet. Your seals are well deserved. I enjoyed the way you completed the young love to the rose. Your closing lines struck me the most. Thanks for sharing this one. Blessings

So, this is an English Sonnet. It reads very smooth and tells a story of young love, innocence, desire and the dreadful end of youth and loveliness What was the warning that he missed? Did he move too fast or once he took that innocence, it never returned?
Well crafted.

In my opinion, an exquisite sonnet - 'Exceptional' in its beautifully articulate descriptive renderings - smoothly flowing in its easy appearing movement and elegant image complement...

Your 'seal of quality' sonnet richly deserves the accolades... such masterly use of language paints a sensory picture of nature's beauty as well as including metaphor and symbolism. I also like the play on words in the last 2 lines with Time and sage and rhyme.

Hello,
Your bittersweet poem is so wonderful and true especially about lost youth. The way you described the Rose I could see and feel its velvet tinge. My youth, too, was tender and gone much to soon. I love this poem.
Best wishes,
Cindy

There's no doubt that this poem and picture deserve six stars without thought. The background. The Rose being colored. How it stands out.
The font color. Very good and timeless

Comment from Seshadri_Sreenivasan
I enjoyed reading this well-written sonnet. The red rose reminds me of the saying 'True love is like little roses, sweet, fragrant in small doses". A fine tribute to the red rose indeed! Thank you for sharing!
