Bloody Rose A Poem Comments

Your work was done, and now MINE is also. : )

James, VERY NICE WORK! ! i WAS LEANING TOWARDS 5 STARS, BUT DECIDED ON 4 (****) INSTEAD. If I COULD I'd have given 4 1/2 stars. : ) bri

(cont.) AND 'prose'? Did 'love' use 1 - Ordinary speech or writing, without metrical structure. OR 2 - Commonplace expression or quality.'? ? ? bri : )

[I think I 'lost' some of what I'd typed re stanza 4] 'it arose': 'it' refers to either 'love' or 'embace'? ? I find it 'cute' or at least interesting that James used 'arose' [verb] in this poem about 'a bloodied rose'. (cont.)

AND, FINALLY, stanza 4: 'it arose' Is 'it' referring to 'embrace' or 'love'? I wonder. And I think it is 'cute' or at least INTERESTING that you used 'arose' in a poem about 'a blooded 'rose'. ;)

I'm SURE I

(CONT.) Otherwise, I 'love' stanza 1. ALAS, weeping in gardens are Roses, at which (I suppose) Gay Sunflowers just 'turn up their noses' show contemptuous or haughty disdain, distaste, or disregard for someone or something.'

LINE 1: usually I'd use 'garden', not 'gardens' for one (1) 'rose', not 'roses'. But, for simplicity's sake, I shall assume the single rose TRAVELS between gardens and weeps in several of them. POOR ROSE! ! POOR GARDENS! ! : (: ( : (
