The poem is interesting and thought provoking. The words are descriptive
and creative. The poem flows and connects well. I love how the author
used the rose in this poem. The poem flows and connects well. The artwork is awesome and compliments this poem. Great Poem, Iza!

This is beautiful, Iza!
The life and death of the rose. What a universal flower to use with your poetic words and photo.

Each petal another falling dream. I loved this one. Best, JohnC

This is lovely. It has a sadness to it, thst comes through and yet...it speaks of something beautiful and I appreciate that. Thanks for sharing. Like a rose petal falling, so can love.

This poem conjures up some lovely images but I'll be honest and admit that I don't quite understand it. Are you referring to a flower that is slowly dying perhaps or being destroyed by a passing storm? Having said that I am sure that others will understand it so good luck in the contest

Beautiful little four line poem and a worthy entry for the competition. Much better than my nonsense! Love the imagery here and the personification of the rose. The petals as dreams is a lovely image. Well done and good luck.

This is an excellent entry in this contest Iza, of course, as in funeral, so there are flowers on display at weddings and the bride and the groom share their nutials, beautifully written my friend, blessings Roy

I like this poem. Very emotional. I wonder if 'failing' is more of what you intend or 'falling' as in falling by the wayside. Is her storm a series of romantic failures? That picture would be unbelievable if there were a couple petals lying about the forged heart in the dust of 'cocaine'. Just guessing on the cocaine part. Well done.

This four-line poem, Rose, has the proper formatting and sees the metaphorical petals falling to the wayside as the forecast ahead limits the possibilities of the rose.

No. This is sad. The poor rose has no chance against the storm. She struggles, but petal-by-petal she is peeled away and so are her dreams. An excellent metaphor for how overwhelming life can be.
Best of luck in the contest.

    I think sometimes we are like them defenseless in front of the fate.
