Thank you, kintesiegel - I'm so glad you enjoyed - I just wrote it yesterday so have not pursued anything yet :-) Brooke
Comment from Sally Carter
A most enjoyable poem, Brooke, and an interesting question indeed.
Thank you for the explanation of "peepers" which is not a word known in England, or at least not in this context. When we say "use your peepers", it means use your eyes.
As you suggest, thinking of more ideas to add to yours could be great fun for students.
Best wishes. Sally

We also use peepers to mean eyes, though it is pretty old fashioned. Thanks so much, Sally :-) Brooke

Very philosophical and a wonderful "thinking-man's poem." I love it and especially enjoyed all of the imagery so vividly painted. Great job. ann

Comment from sara-beth
I like this, it's very pretty, and full of the sounds of nature. I guess perhaps solace can be found in noisy places too :) Great job, a very pleasant read!

Comment from geoniasha
'If solace be in silence found,
what do we find in nature's sound?'
If solace is 'comfort', then I think the answer is 'peace', as in 'comfort and peace'.
This is an awesomely beautiful and elegantly written poem. The beautiful waterfall, I'm sure, brings a peacefulness to anyone who hears the sound it produces. I enjoyed this poem immensely. Thank you for sharing. geo

Comment from jadapenn
Dead silence hurts the ears. The sounds of nature absorb the negative energies of our souls and rejuvenate our elaborate systems. Loved this poem - rhyming couplets. You confuse me with the abundance of forms. Has anyone ever counted how many there are.:)
Beautiful words and presentation, Brooke. luv jada

Thank you, Jada, for your thoughtful review. Nobody has ever counted all the forms of poetry because at least 3 more are invented each day. LOL Brooke :-)

Hi Brooke,
If solace be in silence found,
what do we find in nature's sound?
I find that solace you speak of even among all those creature sounds. Your poem has perfect rhyme and rhythm and flows with the grace of that beautiful water fall you have chosen. Thank you for sharing.

Comment from Fleedleflump
The babbling Brooke does fill me eyes
with words so true and always wise
and when her sound does tickle me
I'm forced to write some poetry
because she writes to make us smile,
forget our strife just for a while,
and ever time I see her name
I know some peace will come again.
