This is such a pleasant read. Personification of the sun and moon added the kind of imagery that so appeals to both children and adults. The rhyme was spot on as was the rhythm. Thank you for the sunshine to start my morning. Blessings, Linda

Thanks for yet another great story of Sawyer's day. I enjoy the comparison of the sun and moon and how it paints a image of the beauty of night and day. Your poem takes me back to my childhood days when the beauty of nature was still fresh. I look forward to your next poem.

Love the visuals and the sentiment. Very wonderful children's poem. The picture and presentation were great. Rhyming and meter were perfect. Loved it!

Ho Brooke, this is an endearing and wonderfully written children's poem, I like the meter you have chosen (I really need to brush up on mine), this has a beautiful rhythm and flow and just skips along gracefully.

A precious puppy and his big friend. "My Bad ,Little Boy" yet another nicely written children's poem you have created here, Brooke. Has Sawyer started learning some of your poems yet? Well done.

chasennov, thank you so much :-) Sawyer is going to be 28 months old in a week, so no, he is not reciting poems yet. He can sing the full lyrics to a couple dozen songs, so I think music helps. :-) Brooke

Wonderful. He seems to be so tall in his photos.

We grow them tall in our family. Nobody wanted to let me pay children's fare when I was 9. :-)

Yes. I had the same problem.

Lovely children's poem to read Brooke. Very clearly written. It has a nice flow to it with good and unforced rhyme. Very nicely done!
Kind regards

Comment from gypsycaravan
Sawyer is darling and scenery is beautiful. Your poetry sings and I find myself bobbing my head side to side when I read it aloud. Which is more fun to play with? Moonbeams or sun's rays? Thanks for posting. Very nice.

Another six, my dear. This one, hop-scotching between night and day, is a treasure.. If I may, I would love to calligraph this for my granddaughter.. She collects moon memorabilia and she loves all things " moon ".

Hey.. Da dum dum...sometimes it is good to know(with my accent and my slow Canadian vowels, it is good to get the hint :-)
Well, this is better than a snow day, in my opinion...a play day. How wonderful.
