Wow, this poem absolutely took my breathe away. The imagery was great. I love how you described it into every detail. The flow was great.

"Life is like the stem
Taking water to survive
Each thorn tells a story
Of the pain it has to bear
Its problems
Its bloodshed
But its protection is always there"

^This was my favorite stanza. Good job! 5/5

That had a real good flow and i just kept wanting to read more. i like how you used the parts of the rose to explain it. you had magnificent detail in describing what each part had been through. amazing read. 5/5 props!

Incredible the metaphors you used were perfect love the flow its like it slips through your mind as you read it in rhythym but hey when you get a chance take a look at some of my work im a love poet but i do other stuff too but for some reason love always comes out the best

I like it... its such a pretty piece, and i felt like i was holding the rose in my hand... the imagery was... WOW... i loved the whole idea of this poem... very very good... 5/5

Wow...
I have to admire this deep, beautiful yet somehow very sad piece. I like it from the first to the last line, it is very captivating and it left truly powerful impression on me. Your comparisons are amazing, very unique.
Breathtaking piece, one of the best poems about life I've read in a while.
Excellently done!

I like the symbolisms you've used in this poem. You have some minor errors in this poem though.

(Its) hardships
(Its) struggles
(Its) problems
(Its) bloodshed
(Its) suffering
(Its) sorrows
(Its) regrets
(Its) successes
= It's

Anyway like I said earlier... It was a great poem. I like the topic in this piece, well done. I think it flowed nicely, keep up the good work :)

Excellent poem. very well described and you seem to know what your talking about. very well compared too. keep writing.

I've read this poem before, but again, I would love to point out the fact that it's just so amazing. The emotion is very great! Good job!

The repetition in this poem is effective and links the stanzas together really well, when I read the first line I was wondering why this wasn't in the "love" section but then when I got to the second stanza I realised. The structure is really strict and it keeps the poem well-together.

Nice one,
