^ Red velvet
are your sweet petals
delicate ever for my heart to sway.
Fragrance to follow your tempting
bouquet wafting through the breeze she
unveils. Love divine spoken by every poet. The rose is
perfect or so they wrote it. Can another smell capture her
perfume or silken fabric we prepare or groom? Nature only
has the recipe. She allows us to breed each spring. Sometimes
we can fool with grafting but she’s always a true
love to me. The red color of blood from which comes
life, fades not easily when cut with a knife. Florists
deliveries melt a woman’s heart. The love from
who sent them she won’t depart. So pure and rich when
touched by the dew with prickly thorns upon your long
stem. As a ruby coveted like a gem fascinate us with
your perfect view. A queen amongst those in the garden
she offers not others a pardon. Her royalty never
will falter even when we would try to alter. My
Red Red Rose will you not tarry and fill
my heart clear up to the brim? A
love like ours is more than a
whim from the man you
betrothed
to marry.

Whoa, not only only a great poem, but a great format! Very innovative and unique, this is something I will probably never see again. ~Ľũčąś~

I think you made it to the finalists list just because you have the talent to make your poem entitled Red Red Rose into the shape of a rose...it's amazing. I didn't like the poem too much....it didn't captivate me, but the shape is amazing!!
Thanks for entering!

i must say though that while I admire the poem's format it is very distracting while reading and makes it hard to concentrate on what's been written.
