This poem i think is about love and optimism. 'why is it no one ever sent me yet' the yet is the hope that someday someone or her lover will. and the last two lines is the resignation to fate, 'Ah no, its always just my luck to get'. so if you agree or otherwise reach me on my e-mail.

If you ask me, this is not a poem about love vs. materialism. It's about a fling vs. a long and solid, committed relationship.

I`m realy from Puerto Rico but teh alternative dont appear in the country selection :( its ok;)
Well I need to do a oral presentation about a poem and a chose "One perfect rose" by Dorothy Parker. This poem has very verbal irony speccialy in the third stanza. When I see the title of the poem I think that the poem is about the love but, I was wrong about it. I started reading and I received more than one teaching. Unfortunable in the actuality I can identify couples that aren`t in love and are unit just for the money. That`s realey bad!!! We need to analize if the love should be accompained with materialism to be accepted or the love is more than that. For me the love is more essential;)
