    Hmm...definitely interesting. Good flow, great rhyming. The only problem that I have is just the symbolism. You're making it sound as if the rose is either a symbol for happiness or sadness. What happened to the in between? Great job though.

    5/5

    You did a good job using and comparing a rose as a symbol of how our life goes! nicely written! What you wrote is absolutely true! In every sunshine (good) there's a shadow that follows (bad)!

    Very nice, but your attempt to rhyme sweet and bees was a little off.

    I didn't particularly like this poem until the very last line. It was kind of like, oh cliche, boring, but the last sentence absolutly changed the entire poem for me. Great job!

    I love the comparison of life to a rose. It was a clever concept, and you've written it beautifully.

    "Provides pollen for the bees."

    I would suggest dropping 'the' from that line, as it feels maybe one too many syllables, but that wouldn't make much difference.

    I can't find fault other than that, and that's hardly a problem. Really, an excellent poem. x
