When the poor rose gets used from the outside in,
It sadly realizes,
It just cannot win.

I feel as though you are referring to this rose as though it were a person. I may be wrong but I feel you have a deeper meaning behind this poem than just that of a rose.
I feel deep pained emotions from between the lines.
Well done Courtney
Have a wonderful weekend deary

For some reason, i don't think this is about a poem... hint hint... anyways, i really like this poem, it flows really well, and the rhymes don't seemed forced.
"Many use this sweet flower for fun,
Love me, love me not,
They kill this pure rose until it is done."
*that was my favorite part, it really got to me. great job!!

Forever*Yours

This is my favorite poem by you so far. i felt that you captured what the rose is with such vivid language. the flow here was relatively smooth and your word choice was excellent as well. great writing. 5/5

Good work i like it ... i will have to read more of your work .. if you like drop by and read some of mine ... i am told i havea different taste than most and looks like you do to keep it up

"It sadly realizes it just cannot win"

I interpreted the rose as a person, a girl specifically. With the "love me, love me not", I got the feeling the girl was being tossed around from guy to guy, and that is an entensly strong message to be sending. All I really had to say to this poem was "wow". I know how it feels to be this rose, and you captured the feeling wonderfully. Great Job!

Beautiful poem and very well written and I appreciate your criticism towards my poem and I hope u will critique a couple of my other poems to help me develop into a better writer. I didnt mean to hurt that girl's feelings, that clearly wasn't my intention. She emailed me showing her displeasure and I now realised I should have chose my words better. I use #'s for originality and individuality in order 2 be different from other writers. Thanks 4 the advice and I wish more people like u commented on my poems so I can become the best poet I can be. I use words like ya not because I dont know proper writing etiquette but because when I do that I feel that im puting an urban twist into the poem. Keep mailing me because I think we can form a little partnership on here.

Whole poem is real interesting,i'm amazed by your expression..especially on those

Many use this sweet flower for fun,
Love me, love me not,
They kill this pure rose until it is done

There's not much I can say, that has not already been said, but you should know that this is a fantastic poem. If you intentionally used the rose as a symbolic form, then you truly are a genius. Either way this poem was a fantastic read, as is most of your work. You are an excellent writer, and the way you write, I think you know it too. Someone once told me that a good writer does not need to impress their reader, but rather they must work to make their reader understand. And as one of your readers, you did an excellent job conveying your ideas in attempts to be understood. 5/5 for sure.

Beautifully cute....
