Very nice, you are right, I did like it! You definitly are one of my favourite authors!
Sincerely,

Wow, this is very cunning. I like this very much, roses mean so many things, love, angst... EXC.

I love the word roses...this was outstanding, this is great stuff.

Something I like:
Like chains and ropes they capture me
a promise never kept
their beauty and their danger
the tears that I have wept.
Something I don't like:
A secret love, a hidden fear.
A poison of the roses.
The reason I don't like those two lines is because of the punctuation. The first period should be a colon, a dash, a semicolon, anything but a period, to allow for continutity.
*checks all three boxes*
Love ya.

wow thats pretty good!

I seem to be obsessed with roses in my works, this is different. It is very well put together to convey the thaughts of the subject. "Roses are my poison" brilliant idea and so well done, great lines in this poem. It ends so well,the wording is really good. Talent overflows!

Awesome poem. I have to agree, roses are my poison too. Check out "The Rose" by me. It has the same kind of ideas... anyways keep writing, I love it.

Overall, this is a nice piece, but it does have flaws - occasionally the rhyming is confusing, and in lines like 'a sign of affection or a sign of death' and of this they demand I share' the rhythm kind of loses it. But it's still a good poem with lovely imagery!

I liked that poem very much, and I feel very much the same way.

Excellent imagery! I love how you compare them to chains and ropes. Good job!
