This is so beautiful, and here it is a different game of daisy - or she loves me or loves me not: "The kitchen shears dissect the rose.
The crimson petals predefined.
She hears its thorny, final cry.
Her sink disposal starts to grind." Thank you for sharing and good luck with the contest.

This narrative poem VIVIDLY describes one scene in this woman's life from the moment she discovers the rose to after its disposal and she's had her pipe and wiped this man out of her life. You employ each of the words in a natural way and bring this woman to life. Rod

You followed the rules and used all the required words. And, you did it beautifully if a bit sadly. Your illustration pairs perfectly with your poem. The words flow nicely. This is well written.

The poem tends to create an image of a lady who has 'overcome' the initial pains of broken relationship and though he kept coming back to reconcile with her, she felt she no longer had anything to do with him. Thanks for sharing. I wish you the best of luck in the contest.

This sounds like she had a nice relaxing smoke after a fun night with her girlfriends. I like that she ground up the rose in the garbage disposal, that he left her at the door. That was real anger. You used the words wisely and fulfilled the contest prompt. Well done. -January L.

Wow, so eight people have read this and it doesn't even have a second review. I swear, people on this site are friggin' ignorant. Great piece, L. I looked in your profile. That's how I knew it was you. Great poem. I hope you do well in the contest but like I said, these people are ignorant. Lol

This is a very nice poem, I enjoyed reading it. It flows well and has a nice feel to it. Just one little error- you wrote 'the CD player stars to play' but I guess you mean starts. Thanks for sharing
