Beautiful little poem, you could read this in so many ways, tells a lovely little message in so few words and the picture and colour scheme is wonderful and vibrant

First of all, I would like to say Congratulations on winning the Septolet poem contest.
I enjoy how you used the rose and the thorns to convey that the thorns are there for protection, as many would view them in the opposite way. I find your poem beautiful and how you tell the reader to send love away softly. Very insightful and unique.

I like the reversal of the age old rose as the prize. The thorns are there to protect. I love it. This was a different take on a very clich© symbol. nice imagery and th flow was great. I can see why you won. Congratulations.

A well deserved win. Beautiful imagery, great art choice, and the message is perfect. Thorns are for protection. Be kind. Be especially kind when breaking someone's heart.
Well done.
