The sensual beauty of the red rose
nature given undeniable allure
strength to stand, thorns to endure
a pleasing scent to entice the nose.
The way of your dress, seductive pose
show me the rose will not be demure
the sensual beauty of the red rose
nature given undeniable allure.
Exuding sexuality from head to toes
my thoughts in that moment, only impure
whisper you want me, attention insured
I've become addicted, It's what I chose
The sensual beauty of the red rose.

Prompt: 3) Compare a rose to love. It can either be about love dying or being born... whatever! As long as you compare them I want to see how creative you can be.
Love you Tory.
Dedicated to my sweetheart Tory.

Hmm... I am not too big a fan of repetition or uneven stanza lengths so that'd be a no on this form. But thank you for showing me it anyways because you write it beautifully. This poem is so alluring and fascinating. Simply stupendous in your use of words. Thank you for entering it so much. I won't be writing in this form, but it really flows so well here. I would probably make it sound awkward, but honestly I didn't even notice that you repeated lines until I read the rules. Tee hee. So thank you for showing me this.

Thank you for following the rules. Will comment on the actual poem later.

Wow! Those first four lines described the ose exactly how it is seen to many. Great job.

Beautiful description again. It makes the rose sound even more beautiful.

WOW!! Those last lines were amazing! A rose DOES exude sexuality. I loved the fact that you wrote "I've become addicted, it's what I chose" that was beautiful. I loved the want of it... the need of it. And that last line was a perfect ending to a beautiful poem. Great job. -
CLUE: (when it's dedicated to Tory, I know it's written by you Gris) It's okay. rakerman1 signed his lmao. This is really pretty. The only suggestion I have is the presentation. Set the left align bigger so the text doesn't run over onto the border; then make sure when the background is edited you click both of those stupid little boxes ... hide left edge and whatever the other one is. I hate this new format!!!

There is something about red roses that just say sensous and romantic. I don't really have a lot of experience with form poetry but I liked this very much.
-
This really is a wonderful, yet odd write. It seems I have a lot to learn (Not just better gramma
)
Thank you for taking the time to enter -
My My My .... She must be a real beauty of a kind to have these words written for someone... It is a real romatic piece and very sensual & sexy in a ways.. Thanks for sharing
-
You have very lovely vivid imagery in this write. I really liked the form used for this one. The repetition made it really sensual and almost addictive to read. I had to read it twice because I liked it so much. The rhyme was very nice.

wonderfully penned.
good luck
Love,
