Comment from Bill Schott
This five- seven- five about flowers, red roses for his daughter, has the eerie sense of the sweet and the bitter that were all represented with the same type of beautiful flowers.

I enjoyed reading your nature poem about your favorite flower the red rose. Your poem is interesting. I like how you focused on the three stages of the daughters life and how she received red roses at each stage. Good alliteration of words an armful, beaming bride. Your artwork choice is beautiful.

Wow, this is a very sad 5/7/5 poem but very well written. You have perfect syllable count and the lines flow well together. Nice job!

This is a sad, yet heartwarming piece at the same time. I liked the imagery of the red roses which I thought worked really well and you captured the emotion. I couldn't find any faults. Thanks for sharing...Jacob

Now I'm just sad. But the poem works. You completely aced the contest rules and gave the reader (at least me) a jolt. That's good writing. Congrats!

Well written poem, that should also be a good contest entry. Roses have such special meanings, from the cradle to the grave, as this poem so clearly depicts.

It's hard to capture grief in such a short poem, but you do that here. My heart ached to read it. The rose, a perfect flower choice for almost any occasion, speaks volumes here. Well done.
Rose.

Flowers can say so much and have a part in all stages of our lives.
I like how you go from birth to wedding to death. The flower remains the same.
Nice job. :)
