I think we still use flowers today to express our emotions and I often received red roses from my husband throughout our marriage. Your poem is gentle and your well chosen words here are a joy to read, love Dolly x

Flowers are almost like a language-always have been, especially certain ones. Your poem is well-written, moving, and vividly descriptive, conveying a message about emotion and reason.

I'm at a bit of a disadvantage. Poetry is not my strong suit and I wouldn't know what to suggest to improve your poem, if there was a need for improvement. Based on the requirements for this prompt, it is very well written. On top of that, I learned something new and enriching about poetry. Very well done.

Thanks for the read. Good luck. Good writing.

I love the form of your poem shaped as a diamond, and yes the key to a girl's heart are flowers, and the rose is considered to be the most romantic flower: "Just one red rose did make her eyes shine bright
Though white orchids could have felt right
When emotions are stirred
reason takes flight
like a bird -
She purred
Cheers!" Thank you for sharing and good luck with the contest.

This work has reached the exceptional level

This is an awesome poem that follows the syllable and rhyme pattern but also shows how much women want affection. A simple flower would have been sufficient but she was overjoyed to have a rose.

This is so well done author. Your words selected to perfection to show visually the beauty of the Diatelle poem.

And even more importantly this is poetry.

Great job you and I wish you much luck in the voting booth. :)
