Question:'Roses are mine’

O’ pretty, dim soul of youth!
Thy eager judgment, I canst overlook

The companion in haste that thou, pined
Mystified mere by the pricey ring and bouquet
But how did thee, neglect?
Un-presented, yet mature
Roses were mine!

Hence thee, at the expense of my esteem,
Accepted stranger thine as ‘I do’ thine utterance
In the Cathedral Ceremony
There, when celebrated all and sundry
Except the flora, withered yet again
Roses were mine!

And albeit thee delay
Making out the love- genuine and fake
And resolve to correct
Thee, do make haste
For thou art mine, by the right I owe
─‘Roses were mine’!

Good effort, but when you write in archaic English, you have to be perfect. There are several grammatical mistakes in your poem, as for instance "I canst": "canst" is the second person singular, not the first.

Nah. Rhymless, rhythmless. A 'classic'? Oh please.

All rights reserved? Good idea.

i dont liie this archaic language that is not used today.

why do u address this q to gentlemen only? do u not value the opinion of ladies?! if not, why not!?

Why would you do this?

Poetry needs rhyming words, your thoughts are great

You are the third polished poet I've read today. I have a week off to play on Yahoo. I will look for more of your work. Read my bio. TD

Standing O!

This is an unconvincing, rambling piece of not very well-written prose. Why you've decided to write it in obviously fake archaic style is beyond me.
"Classical verses"? Is that a joke?

I will now singen, if I can,
The armes, and also the man
Thar first came, through his destiny, Fugitive of Troy Country,
In Italy
