Friend,

Lost love is always a sad story - and love lost in this way seems sadder still. This is formed as a bit of a fairy tale and the rose is a nice touch. I enjoyed. Thanks for sharing!

Thanks for the review, Gert. Yes, the picture was from the prose contest. I had to enter the contest to get
the artwork for my poem. The poem started in my head the moment i saw the picture.

Sadly I did get a message saying the poem got disqualified because it was supposed to be prose.

A story poem worthy of the repertoire of any minstrel! Lost love and roses of remembrance - a combination that cannot really fail! Good rhythm throughout and words well chosen to enhance the feeling of pathos and sadness. Just one small typo to fix: "As you handed me on(e) pink rose". Sadly, I'm out of sixes.

I think this was very well done! I find myself hoping for the best when they part and that his blood won't be spilled!
You kept my attention throughout the poem. I love the ending even though it is bittersweet. Great job!

Not sure this will meet with the judges rules, but you could quite easily make it into a story with a few connecting words, it is worth doing because your story is delightful, good luck, love Dolly x

Thanks for your review, Dolly. I tried to enter this because the poem tells a story and it didn't specifically state no poems allowed.
