The below is my poem. Pls feel free to give me your constructive criticisms. Much appreciated.

_____________
My Petals

I would paint a hundred petals
In hues of yellow and gray
Their slender drop is gentle
And leaks a fragrant dew

I would paint a hundred petals
All luscious full of vibes
Their robust wings stretched out
To touch the nocturnal skies

I would paint a hundred petals
Each one carved in curves
Which would dance around in pirouettes
To the whispers of the wind

A hundred petals are all I need
To paint a dream so real
That as I touch and caress my petals
They sweeten and warm my rose.

There are some inconsistencies in your words, which could be shortened in the stanzas..which would allow for a more thorough flow of words. Stretched out..could be...outstretched..
"Dancing about in pirouettes.."
leave out the..."the's"....and those little words that have little meaning..get to the real heart of your words..
thoughts are nice..message is clear..needs more work to fine tune..as with any new vehicle...
