How appreciative you are, Brooke, of all the free favours you've received from nature, and how sensitive are you in perceiving your reviewers' feedback as free gifts. Your choice and range of words are a delight, and I freely give you six. Peter.

Thank you kindly, Peter, the loveliest man in all fanstorydom. :-)

Don't tease me; I'm very sensitive.

I would never tease - who is a lovelier man? Now, I have a poet crush on the voice of some Irish guy pennamed Soloniel , and I think Charlie Cheesewhatever it is is quite funny and adorable, and Hurricane Dean and I are political/social thinkalikes, but nobody comes close to you in the loveliest guy category!!! :-)

I can only reach out to you in words, but I'll make every one count. I feel strangely warmed, which is something John Wesley said when, after preaching for years, he first felt the Holy Spirit. In my case, it's the spirit of a remarkable woman.

Comment from Ginny
I enjoyed this poem for the warmth of feeling that comes across in colourful imagery. This is a poem that brings out the importance of bonds and relationships. Well done!

Comment from Fleedleflump
It's clever and a nice take on things; I would like to see a dandelion chasing a wayward seed shouting "you come back here, young man!"...
Beautiful flow, as always from you, and a thoroughly lovely poem :-)

Comment from Nanette Mary
Hullo Adewpearl ....
This is a very nicely written expression of appreciation for the friendship which you have found on FanStory. I believe that all who read your words will identify with your feelings and sentiments. As my token of appreciation, I dedicated my book - "The Music of Words" - to all the members of FanStory but as it was not published by Amazon, I am not permitted to add mention of this book to my profile. I am really sorry about this because, nearing my 80th birthday, through the book I wanted everybody on FanStory to know how much I have appreciated their kindness and friendship. The book was
produced by a Publisher who paid to advertise on FanStory which makes it even more strange to me. However - I am just a Member and others make the rules. Those who want copies of the book can contact me for details.
Thank you for sharing this with us.
With love from ...... Nanette Mary.

Brooke, I really like this poem a lot. Relates a story that is seen in nature all the time, but, not appreciated.
Excellent piece of writing, Brooke....... Your friend Jim

Comment from Sissy Holly Grace
Well what more can I say except this is how poetry should be written. The flow is like listening to a song and the beautiful imagery makes you feel good to be alive. Enjoyed every minute of this and deserves no less than six stars.

Thank you so much for sharing this wonderful creation of artistic beauty and encouragement.
You have expressed well the beauties of life given freely for mankind to enjoy, without cost to any involved and then used it as a measuring stick for mankind to acknowledge and hopefully adhere to. Indeed if all of man thought as you do, this would definitely be a better place to live in, and everyone wouldn't be so paranoid, looking over their shoulders all the time, but instead would be thankful and grateful for every and all event, situation, circumstance, relationship, encounter faced in life and in reciprocity, give it back just as freely instead of at a cost.
Thanks for the journey and pearls you have shared and many blessings to you
