I like your Valentine poem.
The song is in your heart but it needs a partner to help make it complete. Nice rhyme scheme and alliteration of S's and D's. Good job and good luck! 8-)

Really nice. You didn't skip a beat. The poem rolls along making its own music and offering such a warm invitation.
We need more of these.

I think these two really enjoy each other's company. They're always doing things together. Keeps Sawyer from growing up alone. Your Valentine's entry is superb. The quatrains tell a good story of how two should be together. Well penned. Best wishes for the contest. luv jada

All songs are composed for two, that's the way it should be, methinks. Songs for one are so lonely. Although I do seem to be exceptionally good at penning that kind. Love your light-hearted work.

Your poems are always a delight to read, and this "Valentine Duet" shows your quality writing. Only the Valentine's added notes complete the creation, so true for the song of life. Well done, my friend, Anita

Beautiful said OR sung, Brooke, and I like the analogy of a duet being so much richer and full than a solo artist performance.

One possible suggestion: create a sound that's hollow. (would "too" work better than "that's") Not much difference between the two, really.

Nicely done!

Cute picture. I'm guessing that Nara is taking piano lessons. What a beautiful piano to be able to practice on. Sawyer looks like he's having fun. Cute Valentine poem. You wow us again:)

    Yep, she started taking piano lessons a couple months ago. Her grandpa is a famous composer and music producer - even wrote a hit for Michael Jackson, so music is in her stars :-) Thanks so much, Joy. Brooke
