The Wilton rose.

A J C 1958 (Swansea, MA)

Free verse
The Wilted rose.

A dream is a magical thing. A secret place where no one can go. A path to make a new start it lures you on it never stops it always one step ahead it never ends if you want you can send them to your friends. One day, it will capture your soul when you grow old. It can never be sold just like a wilted rose. Now you know. Take the rose.

    Positive feedback:
    The poem 'The Wilted Rose' has a dreamy and mystical quality to it that draws the reader in. The imagery of a dream as a magical and secret place is enchanting, and the idea of it capturing one's soul as they grow old is both poignant and thought-provoking.

    Improvement suggestions:
    1. Consider expanding on the metaphor of the wilted rose - what does it symbolize in the context of the dream and the capturing of one's soul? Providing more clarity on this could enhance the depth of the poem.
    2. Pay attention to the flow and structure of the poem - some of the lines feel a bit disjointed and could benefit from smoother transitions or connections.
    3. Consider incorporating more sensory details to immerse the reader fully in the dream world you're creating. Adding in sights, sounds, smells, and textures could make the experience more vivid and engaging.
