well it's original, but that's about it

wonderful, absolutely wonderful! almost a favorite. *10*

hardly concrete, but I do enjoy the first stanza. *7*

Only major problem- other than the whole "prose" thing-is the large space near the end. Find some way to fix it. *7* (I automatically deduct 1 point for prose, sorry)

3 dot.coms send the message. *4*

I can't believe I'm saying this, but if this had actually been a prose poem, I might have given it a higher score. And don't use "evermore" ever or more. *8*

Why not just call it "The Name of the Rose" *5*

Interesting venture. The structure could use some work. *6*

Oh, please get rid of L4. *7*

Man, that was such an entertaining poem! Little changes here and there-I won't be specific- and it's perfect! *10* Can you put a single stanza in your "favorites" section?

definitely needs a line that stands out. *7*

good ending. *8*

Reminds me of...oh, whats that thing from church...about forgiving those who trespass....I don;t know....been a long time. Anyway, I think that this was a "I need something to post poem (sorry, not trying to be mean). I just know what you're capable of and I expect more. You know I got much love for ya. ;)

so good, very nice picture. *9*

Not loving the poem so much, but I like the title a lot. So, *7*.

what?

I like it, but I'm guessing it's a translation. Now, I can respect the work you put into a translation, but I don't feel that's it's an original work (and I've heard the debates.) Good job, but I will hold my vote. P.S.-If I'm wrong and it's an original, let me know and I'll vote.

As I've made no secret, I'm not a big fan of modern poetry that sounds like it was written 200 years ago. Still, it's not too bad so I'll vote 6. Note-200 years ago, I'd have given it an 8.

nope

I'd change the end to forever. Not bad overall...
