Hello and good afternoon rosedarkly, I hope you're having a good Friday. My name is Jessica and I'll be reviewing Lovely Roses for RAOK Upgrade Brigade Group. Please remember these are only my opinions, feel free to take whatever you see helpful. If you have any questions, don't hesitate to message me.

First Impressions:
This is a good start to a poem. It's a little too literal and "roses" seem to be used too much, but the imagery for the most part is strong. I like the rhythm and flow; I think free verse definitely works with what you're trying to convey in Lovely Roses.

Overall Thoughts:
As I said above, I think this poem is a little too literal and not really figurative. The repetition of the word "rose" is used a lot; I think finding an adjective to describe the rose might be a little better. Here is an example:



See how variety makes it a bit more interesting, but it's ultimately up to you! I found no mechanical or grammatical errors.
