    I love the personification of the rose, but the point of views was a little messy.
    Ex:
    "My arms sway like a willow tree,
    in the cool summer breeze."
    ---the narrator is the rose
    "My beautiful red rose,
    the scent was so sweet,"
    ---the narrator is telling about the rose
    "My life span was short,
    but maybe had purpose."
    ---then the narrator becomes the rose again.

    A little revision and polishing would make this poem better. But I really like the theme and idea behind this. A rose is over-used in poetry, but still, you made it work here. Great job, Hannah. Keep writing :)

    Hannah-

    Many times I often refer to myself as a droopy flower.... For when sorrow and life challenges overcome my senses I truly feel as such-

    I adore this piece, for it touches on a part of ones life that i feel happens to everyone from time to time...

    You have penned a beautiful poem here... I also admire the nature tones .... just love this!!!!!!!!!

  • Oh this is so beautiful and so sad.
    Just remember, no matter how down you are you can always rise again, to be that beautiful rose once more.

    Beautiful imagery here. 5/5
