The English Rose
The English Rose is known to all
Her loveliness and gentle grace
She sits in splendour to enthrall
Her skin so soft her scent a trace
In gardens here and far beyond
The English Rose looks like a queen
The rose, the land, they have a bond
She grows so fair and so serene
The lad in love he drifts on by
He looks with longing at the Rose
He holds his own and gives a sigh
This beauty with her many beaus
Ah Rose dear Rose you're so divine
I dream and wish that you are mine.

I googled sonnets after reading the beautiful poems by Robert and Teddy. I am trying to write different types of poems by reading those by MPS poets.

Thank you. This is good news!
I very much enjoyed this Rozina! I too like how the Rose looks like a queen.🌹🕊🌞
Thank you.
although I have never been tempted to try & craft one myself, I have a reasonable understanding of their composition & can appreciate not only their crafting and beauty .. but appreciate a good one when I see/read one .. and this Roz is a very fine example .. it gets my vote ............ Neville
Thank you Neville. I am attempting various styles gradually as I read and learn about them at this site.
Loud applause for this rose-scented sonnet attempt - top marks Rozina..
Thank you Fay.
This was a lovely poem Rozina. I find writing in fixed forms a little oppressing 😅 so that's why I stick with free verse for most of my writing but this was a marvel. Kudos to you! 💖
Thank you. Opposite for me. I have tried free verse but it looks unreal and I’m too embarrassed to put it up! Will keep on trying. It’s interesting though how the brain connections work!
You are officially a Sonneter now.
My love is like a red, red rose.
She drank the wine, and is now comatose.
Hahaha thank you.
Your stories are still the best Paul
But they always seem so very tall!
I am 6ft 12. lol
Wow this is very well written and i believe this has inspired me to write a sonnet as well.... Great job. Please check out work as well.
Thank you very much. Sure.
You are welcome. Have a great day!
