Simply put this is an exceptional poem. The photo and the background color make for a beautiful presentation. This is a very clever and creative poem with great rhyming and imagery. The syllable count is really consistent throughout which makes the poem flow effortlessly. Simply put, a really nice job. Best of luck in the contest.

Hi Portia, A great poem matched to the image. One of lost love but then of hope which finished your poem nicely . I love the way an image can bring about poetry and create something from just looking at it. Great rhyme and gentle flow throughout. Cheers Christine

Comment from Sandra du Plessis
A very well-written love poem. All the roses in the world have no meaning when the love is not real and true, it shows how they treat you without the flowers.

Very well done. The proverbial Bed of Roses we all look for but don't want to lie down in because of the thorns. I think this is very well done and deeplly thoughtful . Always remember you would never want a man who doesn't want you.

Comment from PoemsOfDD
pharp, this is a very good entry into the Love Poem Poetry Contest. You have rhymed this piece well and allowed the story of lost shallow love to unfold nicely ending on a positive note of true love that will be just around the corner waiting patiently. All good things are worth waiting for. I like this poem. Good job and best of luck in the competition. ~DD

Comment from WalkerMan
Many a good poem comes from just the right scene or image. The pain of a relationship that failed because of the other's deceit likely exceeds that from any thorns in those rose stems. Yet the reality of the roses' fragrance rightly prompts arising with renewed hope of finding a truer partner. Well done.

Comment from Dean Kuch
Very nice, Portia.
Your Love Poem Contest entry is very expressive, well rhymed, and the a,b,a,b rhyme scheme created an excellent cadence and flow when read aloud.
It's a bit melancholy, sure. But what romance isn't? Besides, they never promised us a rose garden. Along with the sunshine, there's gotta be a little rain sometime.
Nicely done.
Best wishes to you in the contest.
