A single red rose
Its beauty rivaled only
By your loveliness
Droplets of dew glistening
On pastel petals as delicate
As your silky soft skin
A rose alone
Fragile
Like my beating heart
This rose
This heart
I give
to you

Great write again, thanks for entering.

This really is a nice poem, but I have to admit it screams "greeting card" to me. It's very pretty writing, but a little sappy for my taste.
-
Very beautiful. I loved the beginning about the rose. It was amazing. This was astonding. Thanks for sharing.
-
love it

Roses and hearts are typically cliche topics, but with the addition of the imagery and the emotion of the poem, you've managed to pull it off, making cliche seem rather sweet and romantic, which is harder to do than it sounds. I especially loved your use of alliteration in the second stanza.
This poem was short and sweet. The only criticism that I have is that the third stanza was rather lacking, compared to the other topics, giving the poem a waning feel.
I wish you the best of luck, and keep writing and improving your poetry. ^__^

Droplets of dew glistening

Thank you Cathy
I am delighted you liked this poem so much. I am also a big fan of Stephen King, Dean Koontz and Anne Rice, along with John Sanford, James Patterson, Sandra Brown and John Saul. So we have a lot in common. I will stop by and read some of your writings.
Richard
ps: I am impressed with all your trophies

This seems to be meant for a guy writing for a girl. Sort of weird to tell my boyfriend,
"On pastel petals as delicate
As your silky soft skin"
I think it would challenge his masculinity. Thanks for entering, and good job!

Sorry!
You are right and I am embarrassed. However, a real man could get away with having a Valentine card like that.

Very, very nice!

wow thankyou so much for entering my contest

This is VERY adorable. (sorry couldn't think of a better word for it at the moment). I love the last 4 lines. A-MAZ-ING!
Good job, good luck, and keep up the great writing!

"This rose
This heart
I give
to you"
How delightful, I'd expect this to be found in a valentines day card or left around the house for a lover to read.
Beautiful, thank you for entering. x -
