I hope they waved as they drove by--I live across from the Getty Museum/Villa. I enjoyed your repeating line about life and especially liked the description of the caterpillar. Thank you for sharing your philosophical, rhymed quatrains. Hugs- Joan

the world can seem a lonely place/where smiles and laughs have gone astray/ till soon a friend is at the door/surprises happen everyday.
I have often marveled at the positive echoes that ring through out your poems, Brooke.Surprises happen on a day today basis in nature and they will in our life too, the secret is to have faith and look for the silver linings .Thank you for this poem (for all your poems for that matter!)

What a gorgeous poem, Brooke. So true. Surprise do happen every day, you don't even need to look for them, just open your eyes, look around and you will see them.

Regards,
Jen

Another great photo Brooke that you have woven your kyrielle around, full of surprises.The seeds turn into meadows, the caterpillar/butterly as I read through it reminded me of natures wonders. Great finish off verse with the friend at your door.

Brooke, this was fantastic! I feel like I am at Topanga Beach right now, with your loved ones.

It was almost painful to look Andy all buried in sad but his head. Scary... (lol).

Excellent rhymes, meter and flow. Great visuals throughout.

A polliwog can't leave the creek,
no legs to help him leap and play,
but soon he changes to a frog --
surprises happen every day.

Loved your polliwog.

This brightened my day, it is such a positive poem.

You, however , are not a surprise. You are always succinct, spiritual, and sweet.
Your work should be rewarded. I'm so glad to have found you, and your work.

THIS is so cute Brooke! LOL This is my favorite picture with your Grandson and I'm assuming he's teasing Dad? Again this flows wonderful and the imagery personification and metaphor for. Him and his dad describing sand castles and waterways to the sea. Truly perfection. Once again this was an honor to read.

    Thanks so much, Sam, for your generous review. Andy has a bigger than life personality. I'm sure he was saying things and making faces, etc to make Sawyer squeal with delight :-) Brooke

A lovely Kyrielle with a fabulous theme. You delightfully captured an impressive number of things that are surprising. I loved that photograph too.

Surprises do indeed happen every day and sometimes it takes someone else to point them out. :)

Another well written poem with strong rhymes. I don't know much about this format but from what I've read this is a perfect piece. Great picture of the wee lad and his dad as always. Jaq xx
