A Single Black Rose Poem by Michael Koelliker

I really love this one. While initially others may see only death and depression, I see a man who has love, has passion, has pain...I see proof that he his alive! I think this is my new favorite.

A single black rose happens to be symbolise a lot of things in my own life... it is sensual and epitomises beauty and individuality... it is a powerful poem and even the death is not a sad affair, but almost a celebration.

Its amazing how much one thing defines so much. Congrats

I must say this is my favorite by far. Your poems are better when they rhyme, in my opinion anyway.

simply beautiful.......no black rose for this poem......wondetful flow that touches the soul...

Very very nice. I enjoyed reading this.

this is amazing! ! it shows many sides to one thing but it never makes the meaning of the one before fade! ! ! ! i hope you understand what i just wrote! !

The choice here was to recommernd or not to recommend this poem. I liked the repetition of the Single Black Rose but I didn't like the rhymes very much. There is a fine line here that I simply chose not to cross. I decided not to recommend it. GW62

Beautiful with the rhyming. **Tyease**
