This is perfect, soft, smooth and tremendous in every way. This evokes a timeless flow that uses color, a weave of words sewn like a perfect glove and I even am shocked that it makes me smell certain scents. That is a first for me. Well done.

This has such terrific rhyming - nice, flowing lines and a steady rhythm. It was a pleasure to read your sonnet. I loved the personification of the rose as someone charming and youthful, "All wrapped in passion, clover, sage and rhyme." Terrific end lines. A pleasure to read.

What could be more lovely than the rose? The wild ones have the most delicious scent, but alas...they too have their season and life.
thank you for sharing your craft with us,

English sonnets ...a?
William Shakespeare?
Cough cough, I mean ...
Lorde earl of oxford?

The reason this was done back then:

To expose the powers that be.

I love the sonnet, you quill.

But no need to hide in
intellectual rhetoric today.

So ill translate...

Everyone is denying their own soul
This will end badly.

Done, and done.

Why don't artists....
Speak of current events?

Some do.

Excellent Poem! The author defines the red rose with much
passion. The poem flows and connects well. The reader found the poem creative and thought provoking. The artwork was perfect and enhanced the read.

Nice sonnet except that it lacks definitive dialectical method and therefor there is no tension/resolution.
This would be easily remedied by forgoing the reference to petal death in the last line of the first stanza leaving the question of death for the volta.
Very nice attempt however.
The meter is excellent.

Lovely imagery in this well composed sonnet, yeltel.
I admire anyone whose poems both rhyme and flow beautifully as does this. Nice sprinkles of alliteration add interest, and the art compliments the words - great work!

Regards, Barb

A tribute to a red rose, which is known for its beauty, its charming eloquence, its mystic charm and its wisdom.
A lovely sonnet with good rhyming,a nice and apt picture.The rose has been described very vividly.

This piece meets the criteria of the English Sonnet. Good perfect rhyming with vow/bow...charm/alarm. Each line having ten syllables adds to the consistency of the piece. Good alliteration with red/rose...virgin/velvet...symbols/souls...died/discarded. Clear message, good rhythm, good job.
