I'm in love with The Vinegar Man and Mr. Tanner, but be careful, it could just as easily be you.

I think this is a great idea. I'm surprised no one had thought of it before.....
just need to get more people involved.....

Closed. Now I have to find me a winner. Tough job.
Some of us laugh
Some of us cry
Some of us smoke
Some of us lie
But it's all just the way
that we cope with our lives...
This contest was both an experiment and a success! I loved each and every poem, but in the end there can be only one.
Fifth: These lines were my favorite, a bold description of a rose opening:
closed tight: a newborn’s fist
pinkly opening. Touch of wing beaten air,
long flicking tongues, and many feet
Auto: The beginning was my favorite lines:
A petal drifts onto the floor
A single teardrop salty falls
Her sable gown is out the door
Sorrow encapsulated in a falling petal
Gitsan: The finial couplet of the wonderful sonnet:
Then, lost in shadows dark with cold and rime,
a final petal falls, entrapped in time.
Cellar: These lines say it all!
the rose petal
drifts to the floor-
what good is love
now
Auntie: Final stanza:
He values woman’s place, higher than money.
Same with fragile flowers, doomed to wilt.
Unlike love, they won't last, and that’s what
it means when a rose petal falls.
Love it, love it, love it!
Silven: Last stanza also:
but alas, you know whats come must go
and wilt this rose must fade from thought
but not till its last one falls from court
petals strewn - rose bud did fault
Even with the misspelling!
Niamh: Those last two lines are fraught with meaning:
Dew resting on end of petals
Cry silent tears, for long forgotten souls.
Also very touching!
Lady Amp: Your last line took the rose into real life:
I sit stymied by the day,
Watch them dry and curl away,
I know that you will step on them,
When you come calling on a whim,
Noticing not our colors fading from within.
Could I choose more than one, I undoubtedly would they are all very good. But I must choose one, and I choose Lady Ampoule for bring the roses to the cheeks at the end of her poem!
Thank you all who entered.
Lady Amp, choose the next subject:
Some of us laugh
Some of us cry
Some of us smoke
Some of us lie
But it's all just the way
that we cope with our lives...

Thanks for taking the time to properly judge this competition, I don't think anybody would dispute your choice.
However, is there something I'm missing... misspelling?
My goodness, Pen, thank you so much. I loved the subject you chose. I hope everyone will have time to ponder this next subject and write something wonderful for us....

ampoule, congratulations – beautifully distilled emotions there... and now a bluesy kind of subject!
Pen, thanks for judging and summarising all the best lines too!
se non e vero, e molto ben'trovato
