This poem is a tribute to what must be a wonderful wife. Nice use of metaphor. You might want to consider breaking your 1st 2 lines at the rhyme for consistency. See what you think? Debbie

This is a very lovely poem you have written for your wife, gmartinez. I'm sure she thought it was lovely. It is very cleverly written and very well thought out.

Very romantic and a great tribute to your wife. I will be married 43 years this August and I would marry him all over again. Nothing is as beautiful as finding your one true love. Blessings Rita

Well this poem should keep her smiling for a while...
No need to worry about her last nerve.
I thought this was soooo romantic....
But then I am a romantic fool...

Way to go, loved it......
Thanks for sharing.
Maureen

It is so nice that you write this
for your wife. the simile of the rose
works so well. roses are beautiful and sweet,
but thorns can hurt. realistic evaluation of a
woman. i hope she liked it.

I like your comparison of the hard side of a person and the soft side. The beauty of nature and someone you love mixes nicely. You obviously adore your wife, it comes out comfortable throughout the poem. Do watch for mis-spelled words, especially in such a short piece-- it should be petals.

Lovely photo, and I loved the poem. We think of love as being "like a red, red rose but you added some new angles to your poem. "Tongue as sharp as a thorn is a good example. I'm sure Angela loved the poem. Good work. judiverse

Your poem is a nice tribute to your wife and your love for her. the rose, with soft petals and sharp thorns, is a good comparison to what a woman can be like.
pedals (petals) so sensual and sweet
