I can't imagine giving this anything less than six stars. It is not only beautifully put together, but it truly speaks to my heart. It has the emotion portrayed with such skill, creating a work of art that is a genuine pleasure to read. I loved everything about it. It couldn't be better.

Well I'd have to say I have no idea how I missed this delightful poem. Anytime there's a rose involved you can count me in.

A beautiful kyrielle and exceptional poetry.

The rose is a very romantic flower, but it takes a poet like yourself to expose it. Well thought out and nicely written. I like your narrative storytelling voice personality. Sly fox you. Great story in a poem. Nice work.

Nicely articulated. I like the rhyme and rhythm. It flows nicely. As the poem unfolds so does the story. Its very telling. It reads well and is fast paced and clever. Well done.

I've read this a few times because it is so pleasing in its journey, only to give the punch at the end. I love the play on 'kid gloves' which dangles before the reader to 'get' and how your scan pattern is true to the form. I particularly admire:
'Her petals fall, her heart's exposed,'

With best wishes, Writeling

Wow that was one powerful rose! I enjoyed your kyrielle and things moved along very quickly there. You told the story well. The art work also is fitting for the poem.

I think this is a good entry for the 'Write A Kyrielle' writing prompt.
Your verse tells clearly of your and future child. Well done.
Good luck to you with this one in the competition.

A very well-written Kyrielle. An excellent repeating line that ends each stanza. The rose is a special flower that holds her secrets between the petals for us to discover.
