Crimson Rose (poem) by Sherry L Gibson on AuthorsDen

Reviewed on January 15, 2004

Nice job, but you made a mistake here:

Elegant, soft, moist, crimson petals
Picked only at it's best

"it's" would be its anyway, but petals is plural, so it has to be their.

All in all, very nice.

I loved how you repeated the color crimson and the word rose over and over again -- like a repeating theme. This repeating theme kept appealing to the reader, keeping them engaged in your poem. Truly lovely poignant poem about the simple pleasures of life.

After reading your review of the poems posted on my website, I just had to go check yours out. I love this one. I also read Grandpa's tales. I will be reading the others in time. I find the rose is a wonderful subject for metaphor and simile, having used it in severalpoems. Your handling of it in this poem is relevant and superb.

You have separated a rose from its roots and it died...it served its purpose well. Love need not die if it has its roots firmly planted in the ground and is given freely. Beautiful images, Sherry.
