A beautiful work up for the rose that smells so beautiful as we cherish those roses we love so much. Pink roses are delightful.

Roses are the best of all the flowers. Good flow of words and picture. Easy read that tells a story. Short poems are always better than long ones. Good luck on your future writing.

This Tanka speaks human nature, poet is allured by sweet-divine scent-perfume of pink rose spreads through air on a mid-summer breeze; well said, well done. Keep Writing -- DR ALCREATOR

A pink rose just for me! How sweet of you Melissa! Love the photo and the poem, it's so feminine and sweet. This is a nice break in the autumnal pictures as roses are my favorite!
All my best,
Sal
