Gosh, this is great! You're really good at this. ;-D
Anyway. I love the imagery here. I don't know what other people see, but I thought of the novel "Speak" by Laurie Halse Anderson when I read this, and the barbie with the tape over her mouth. It's kind of like... a beautiful, wild girl who has hid so much under the constraints of society that she's dead inside.

I digress, though. It's probably completely off, right? ;)

Anyway. Great work!

P.S. - I would like to thank you for reviewing my haiku. I'm glad you liked it!!

I like it! Very concrete in its symbolism, and what other symbol can be better used than that of a rose. Good work!

I quite like the set up of the first two lines and the inversion of the cliched rose image but I'm not sure about the last line. Instead of saying that it is *not* beautiful, why not state what it really is? That would really concrete down this piece.

Otherwise, a good ku.

Very nice. I like the different perspective on the rose, showing its darker side!

If you look at it from a different angle, the rose is very beautiful. I see somebody who's suffered from much plight and can't stand the heartache anymore, so he/she has toughened themselves up. But anyhow. You did a good job in writing this :)
