I no longer count raindrops
on roses you gave,
those drops remind me of life
moved on, with cold wave
sorrow at the end~
no rewind for these regrets,
no chance to amend.

Yes, an artful write (but it concerns me why commenters don't help with the rules)?? Syllable count is perfect 7575575...but check rhyme scheme XAXABXB---so line 2 and 4 must rhyme and they don't (fix that and you have something! Hugs
