'Still A Rose' is an extremely well-written piece. This talented poet has with a minimum of words painted a vivid picture. It was a pleasure to both read and review a work of this caliber.

This is a very sweet little piece. I love the personification in the last line - I can almost see a coy little smile peeking out from under the petals. Very well done, and good luck in the contest.

You chose the perfect picture for your poem I think. Your words were a good addition to this nice piece too. Good job. I liked it.

The poem itself is lovely however the contrast between the text and the background have spoiled this as it makes it very difficult to read

    Thank you Stranger...but I don't understand...just meant the raindrops didn't affect the flower's beauty, that was the contrast. Sorry that it was confusing, but I really appreciate this review. Have the happiest day!

Hi, Donna, what a lovely haiku. I may write about the pink petals and the raindrops, but 'loveliness just smiles' is very uniquely yours. Thanks for sharing your love for nature.

Your poem is in good 5/7/5 form
I like the use of alliteration in pink petals and the way raindrops picks up the P sound and the personification of the raindrops
this is lovely and complements the photo perfectly :-) Brooke

    Thank you so much, Daph. The color has been enhanced some, but it's original is awfully close to what you see--it's in my yard still in bloom:) This is a nice review.

A very charming and well-crafted 5/7/5 offering. Your syllable
count and structure are in perfect form for the contest.
"loveliness just smiles" is a gorgeous satori line and a
fitting conclusion to a wonderful poem. Best Wishes, Todd
