A stunning piece, both visually, and the words and joyful and beautiful.
Great rhythm and rhyme, and a free flowing poem.
Stunning.
Warmest regards

This is sort of like...the Glory of God in nature, right? The poem expresses the wonder we can feel when we come upon such beautiful scenes in the world, and how it connects us to the universe. Great job! Fanstory is so changed, I hardly recognize it! Do you like all this fancy rearranging of things?

    Thank you, sara-beth - you are precisely right :-) I am not a computer person, so any change throws me. I'm just starting to get used to it. Brooke :-)

Brooke, here is another one of your masterpieces. Your beautiful words just keep flowing out. The Arwok itself say a thousand words. It is your wonderous words that touch us all. The unigueness of it all.The exceptional rhyming words to make it all work to perfection. Kathy58

Hi Brooke,
What's pretty amazing is that this poem is so much like our mornings here, the sound of water, birds singing. I loved reading this.

Sorry it took me a few days to read this. I may be slow during these months due to harvest time!

I really enjoyed this poem and thought I could actually hear gurgling as I was reading. This sounded almost like a hymn to me. Very pretty and soothing. Nice job Brooke.

    I just looked at your profile - you live and work on a Christmas tree farm - that is just TOO cool. Thanks so much. Brooke :-) Brooke

The bluebird sings, so full of joy
and lifts the hearts surrounding.
It never dreams of shame nor ploy,
just sings, so full of joy.
The human wonders at the sound,
and smiles with gladdened breast.
The bluebird sings, so full of joy,
surrounding hearts lift in their chests.

Mike

Most definitely NOT a triolet, but certainly a tribute :-)

I used to take a lot of hallucinogenic mushrooms
and go fishing on streams that looked similar
to your pic. Then I found God and He said:
"I am the Mushroom Cloud of Eternal Streams
from which you may fish but only on Sunday,
when I'm in church being worshiped"
Then Jesus came along and He said: "Dude, He
was just kidding... you can go fishing whenever
you want... just don't write wank poetry in
praise of Me; for that, you will surely go to
Hell...
Not to say that your poem is wank... I like it!
Fish
