I liked that your 5-7-5 description can also be considered autobiographical. You also selected the perfect, stunning picture of a blue rose with a dewy tear. Best wishes in the contest- Joan

Very nice five seven five poem creates a strong mental image and mood using very few words. Love the middle line. Beautiful choice of artwork. Great job!

This 5-7-5, Exotic Blue Rose, has the proper setup and seems to be the catalyst for musings and those who would be moved to act in a romantic fashion. Nice.

I am sorry, though a great deal of thought went into the presentation. I find the words confusing, as to why would a blue rose be for lovers and troubadours ? It seems scattered and the last line leaves me wondering about lovers and troubadours. As lovers and troubadours are not necessarily a "piece of heaven" None the less, I am sure it will do well in the contest.

I've never seen a blue rose. I've seen purple ones so there must be blue ones. I wonder why it's symbolic of troubadours. I like the reference to the blueness in "a piece of heaven."

Your poem speaks of romance and of traditional poetry crafters of old.
It conjures up idyllic times of wondrous passion.
A beautiful contest entry for a blue rose!

Blue roses come from modern intervention with hybrid horticulture that is aided by Photoshop.

Nonetheless, a gorgeous image.

A lovely Blue Rose, h-m-m-mmmmm...
Who here that writes such excellent haiku, 5-7-5, and senryu poetry such as this could have entered this in the contest?
Lemme see...
Yep, just as I suspected.
Don't worry, though. I won't mention your name because I realize this is a blind contest.
It is quite lovely however.

Dear Mystery Poet,

A blue rose is a unusual color. There aren't very many blue colored flowers in existence - and that's a shame. --sigh-- They are so pretty in a garden, for contrast. Good luck in your contest!
