What unique take on the rose as a metaphor for love and love guarded...wish I thought of that! Nicely done, it flows and grows as one reads it over again...

Nature's beauty in its most glorious color: red. As you write the thorns are to protect, not harm. All a matter of how one wants to see it. Congrats on winning. You did a superb job! Les

Comment from Domino 2
Nice 's' alliteration and sounds throughout.
Maybe edit to centre presentation.
Very clever take on 'thorns' as being protective rather than aggressive.
Very nice read.
Best wishes, Ted

Comment from mfowler
I think you've got the formula right here. Two parts to create a whole. The first verse offers a beautiful thought within the rose metaphor, while your second verse offers sage advice and maintains the connection to the rose. Excellent work.
