Very sad, but beautiful (I guess also because of its sadness). Again this reminded me of Poe, or literature with a Gothic touch in general. (I think you'd like the lyrics of Virgin Black ...) I love the symbolism, the black rose (which could stand for the speaker's life, or a relationship) and how this image is expanded in the course of the poem, the way nature is used not only to create atmosphere, but also to express emotions and truths. (This metaphor of the journey reminded me of my poem "Crossroads", one of my best.) I like the subtlety with which death comes in at the end. A truly impressive poem, and yes, I do like your style. :-)

Beautifully written, nice use of adjectives.

OOh this is...what's the term...f**king gorgeous!

One word: "Wow!"

Wow, great poem, lots of different little things to catch in there. But wow. Awesome job, very powerful. Keep it up!

Wow. That was wonderful. You've got talent. Keep it up.

this was an interesting poem, the despcriptions of the scene were very expertly done, i had the clearest picture in my head of the place, the emotions...it was a whole other world.
i saw a cliche in there which was most unlike your usual style, normally it is wholly original, but im just nit picking because im in a bad mood.
anyway, kudos! as per usual this was a joy to read.

Oh wow.
I love the atmosphere.
Very mystical and foreboding.
The whole scythe bit got the Grim Reaper stuck in my head. Rather eerie and beautiful at the same time. Plus you had a wonderful use of language. Though by "pedals" I assumed you meant "petals", yes? Very well-crafted piece you have here. I greatly enjoyed reading it. I thought the end was particularly well done and just plain awesome ^_- Keep at it.

wow, very nice. Kind of bittersweet. I love the vocabulary.. I don't find many people on here with an expanded use of words... good work, this poem is beautiful.
