Comment from BeasPeas

Excellent

This poem is outstanding. It's subtle in its beautiful descriptive words and rhyming. It flows well from line-to-line and stanza-to-stanza. Much luck in the contest with this fine entry. Marilyn

Hi, Marilyn. I wish that there was an easy way of viewing reviews in reverse order! This, along with several others, has been buried beneath an incoming tide caused by my having posted three or four poems in quick succession! Apologies for the delay in responding.
I really appreciated your kind comments about my poem, "The Secret of the Rose". Many thanks! Your good luck wishes must have helped to put it on the podium. I almost got my entry money back. LOL!
Best wishes, Tony

Hi Tony. Maybe we could suggest the reverse order to Tom. I've noticed that too. What I usually do is scroll to the bottom till I get to the page of the first one, but it's time consuming and a pain in the neck, but at least then they are replied to in the order they were given. And you are very welcome. Your poems are outstanding. Marilyn

This kyrielle, Secret of the Rose, has the right format and takes the reader throw the meeting, winning, consummating, and reproduction processes of love. Nice.

Beautiful image and imagery of your writing. I wish I understood the final 3 lines of the poem, but I don't think I am on the right track..nonetheless I love the rest and am happy to have read it this morning.
