Wow, little Sawyer is quite a remarkable traveling toddler, now in Mexico...So happy he is, as his picture & your poetry reflects this, a vast sunbox for his play time...A toddler's fantasy come to life..

Great thought in this. I liked the rhythm and the flow of this. The rhyming was superb and the theme was fun. The last line summed it all up. Nicely written.

Well said! This is a great poem, and I for one, agree completely. I think science is wonderful for exploring the wonders of nature more thoroughly but it is pure craziness to try to define something that is constantly changing. I enjoyed both the rhythm and rhyme of this poem. It read beautifully. Thank you for sharing.

Oh how delightful, this has made me miss being at our beach-side condo even more

This line had such great imagery for me.

The tide will soon sweep 'cross the shore,

There is a great moral here too Brooke, nothing stays the same, and we should embrace change.

Thanks for sharing.

I especially liked the way science and complience rhymed and the last line is so apropo the way kids think. Grandchildren I think are our gift for doing right by our children.

A work of art that flows like
grains of sand blowing in the
wind on a beach somewhere that
leaves a message of life, enjoy
things for what they are, don't
delve too deeply.
Well done

I enjoyed reading your poem. It makes me feel like not looking so deep at simple things; just enjoy them. We don't need to find a deep, hidden reason for everything. I believe I would, "...fling and kick it." as well. LOL

I really like this one. Most of us do take things much to seriously, just as your third stanza indicates. Your last stanza is my cup of tea, just hall off and "kick it". Take care. Bill

Loved this one, Brooke. Message of enjoying our world instead of wasting time explaining it is very poignant. The only absolute that truly matters is all will end one day. Enjoying, enriching lives by what God has given us is the true joy. Excellent cadence, stanzas well balanced, no errors found. td
