I really loved it. I love the overall comparison to the rose and the many similies and metaphors you found within that one thing that could tie in with the feeling of Love so well. I loved your contrasting comparisons, and the technique you used when mentioning the rose's thorns and beauty with flaws. I liked how the poem describes ups and downs and the reality of love through something as simple as a flower or the sight of people passing by. I did however find the rhym scheme a bit off. It seemed like in some places you were using slant rhym but in others you just rhymed.

Overall thugh I loved it. Especially the stanza,
"What would a rose be with out its thorns...despite its flaws"
Excellent read.
