I like the sentiments in this well written poem about the rose and how the thorns are there for to protect and not harm
a lovely thought. the thorns were the reason. I never grew roses in my garden, but my husband buys me them on occasions. well done. I am not surprised you won. Mary

This septolet, while using the restricted amount of word, manages to convey the poet's message. to me that message is; If rejecting someone, I won't be aggressive, but if that person becomes aggressive or presistant, my thorns are there to defend me.

Great twist on the concept of what roses are all about. The fact that the thorns do not have to be a object of bad was very clever. Your color scheme was also great choice. Congratulations on the contest.

I like the way you bring to light the roses natural protection,thorns. Very unique use of thorns here. Ive never before seen anything written where thorns are not depicted as the complete opposite of protection. Nicely done!

Comment from JoshuaFrame
Wow such a deep poem. I couldnt agree more that we put up barriers and although people view those barriers as hurtful it is simply to protect us from being the ones to get hurt.
