Be Gentle Of Heart....this is a very well-penned poem. The sentiment it conveys is truly beautiful. The second stanza is so very insightful. Excellent work.

'Be Gentle Of Heart,' This poem you have created here, is quite descriptive in a few short words. Something we presume to be bad is actually good as in the thorns protecting the rose. Well done.

Comment from Lovinia
Hi playinaround
Sorry I missed this one. Congratulations on your win. I love the perspective you have .. always different to the expected. Lovely presentation.
A very clever thought provoking poem. What a generous person to consider the heart of one you must send away. Love is not always returned and this is sad. So easy to poke fun (use the thorns) of the lovelorn than to be kind. I ask myself what a different world it might be if we considered the feelings of others instead of mocking them. What a clever wit you have to consider the thorns as protectors rather than the aggressors. A brilliant septolet. So much and in so few words - no wonder you won. This obviously struck a note with the voters. It renews my faith in humankind when I see those who choose "No9t) harm. I wish I had a six for this both for the concept and clarity of expression. Hugs - Lovinia xoxox

You creative Septolet is most deserving of first prize. Considering all the nuances of love and its effect on the lovers, it is wise to find a gentle a way of ending it. Thereby, hopefully, preventing thorny-reprisals.
