a rose of love...

Rose

From his heart grew a red red rose as deep and passionate as the sea,
but as strong as steel.
He shared it with her, his lover in which the rose grew stronger.
Through the years it wavered but never gave.
When true love burns forever so does the rose.
Eternity runs by and by,
what still lives but the rose that burned so deep with love that a memory now only remains....

oops sorry! I tend to forget! Thanx for reminding me... I'll review my friends work as soon as I come back on, but right now I'm too busy. Thanx again!

It's every girl's dream isn't it? A deep, unshakable love ^^ this poem made me smile. Very beautiful, and a little sad at the end. I like the ending, though. It was a good way to end it. Even though you don't go into extreme depth with those emotions, love and sadness, it still tugs the different chords of the heart strings even if only a little. Very nice piece.

Gack. I didn't really like this poem. But it's okay, don't worry. There are so many new users out there who crank out a poem like this. And I always give them the same review. And everyone else gives them the same review. And two months later they are true geniuses. So here goes.

Cliche. cliche cliche cliche cliche cliche passe.

I don't know how many times I can say this.

I'll go line by line, cliches will be underlined:

cliche. cliche. cliche.

"a rose of love" gack. Why rose? Why not... sunflower? or magnolia?

"grew a red red rose" and if it just has to be a rose... why not a yellow rose? or a blue one?

"deep and passionate as the sea" nooo! There are other things in life that are deep and passionate. The Grand Canyon...a volcano...

"strong as steel" Why steel? why not asphalt? and at least give us the type of steel. stainless?

"grew stronger" stop with this "grow stronger" theme.

etc. etc. etc.

I hoped I helped you...sorta... by just spitting out your poem. Sorry. I just think this kind of romantic poem is overly done. And it's not even dramatic poetry. It's lyric.

Sorry again.

[b] This piece is really sweet and in some cases your word choice is magnificent but however, it could also be deemed "too wordy" by some to the point that is difficult for some readers to decipher. I thought the poem was great read out loud but didn't really evoke much emotion into me. Perhaps it's because as others have said, parts of it seemed overused and cliched or I was expecting this. Everyone loves to be surprised with writing and this didn't give much of that shock. There isn't much I can say about this except that I liked it. 8.5/10
P.S. Yes, please observe the rules. you must do 2 reviews before you post your own work. Sorry for any inconvienience

Thanx for all the comments. I realize it isn't the best, but I love it. This is the original version. I've edited it a few times and fixed some parts that sounded cliche to me. Like i said: this is the original version. unedited.
