Hey Charizard,
Awwww this is adorable <3
I really like that you have love poems up on YWS. This is really cute and after the first two lines I definitely started to get into the poem. I was expecting it to be the typical sort of Roses are Red poem, but you did make it unique enough to break away from the stanza marking that it's nice.
You did a really cute job with the wording, but I think you could probably do better if you just kept the syncopation and not the actual "roses are red" part. When you're reading those sorts of lines it does immediately solidify what the pattern of language is, but there are other things that can sound like that too and I think if you explored your horizons on that, you're going to get a better result.
You also aren't being very detail oriented, which is sort of what lends itself well to this poem, but I think in the future, I'd like to see you really applying your whole experience to love poems and the like because the more unique you make it, the better a poem ends up. If you just write something anyone can write, it ends up sort of drab, so it's best to go for uniqueness and really shoot for the stars, so to speak. Don't hold back the punches, just go for it. The more you do that, the better you're going to get, especially since you have a good flow to the poems I've read of yours.
You do really well with word choice so now it's time to work on subject.
Clearly I'm reviewing the past, but I like what I've seen so far, and I think that if you decided to continue posting poetry on here, working on subject could be a good direction to focus in.
Not much really to fix on this. You could, if you wanted to, go back and fiddle with capitalization and stanzas, but that's about it.
