I Contemplate

Comment from Caressa_08
Sawyer seems mesermized or in a trance by possibly listening to music or his mother talking...And, yes, I contemplate, is probably the best way to describe it..It seems Mioranda really knows when to photograph him...Knowing that, he will complement your poetry, you do, & he seems like my granddaughter, even when she was sick, she hardly ever cries...Just gets sometimes, a little frustrated, that's all.

Comment from evrenios
Very charming ight verse about the possibilities in life. I love this view of childhood and the awe of life as the child is waiting to experience all it has to offer. Such a lovely lyric, lighthearted poem - just right for the subject matter and picture.

Comment from Maria C.
Great octogram. This form lent itself perfectly for the message. I am starting to wonder. Does Miranda take the picture and then you write or do you write something and have her take the picture? The pictures are always perfect with the words. I like the way you modified it. Makes it blend well. Great in form, content, meter and rhyme. Love it.

Thank you so much, Maria. 99% of the time Miranda just posts photos and I find inspiration. Once in a blue moon I tell her I want something appropriate for a Christmas poem, that kind of thing, but hardly ever. Brooke :-)

Dear Brooke,you have never written anything that deserves less than a six. I love this poem so much. I look forward every time I come to Fan Story to see what you will have to say about him. Yes, his life has just begun. I hope he will always be as happy and loved as he is now. Best wishes, Marilyn

Comment from Martin Chan
A very nicely composed children poetry with good choice of words that I like it.
What a nice thinking and a good presentation. A lovely picture of a child is a good match.

Comment from Alan K Pease
Perhaps one aspect of your writing is to help us better to look into the eyes of our children and our grandchildren to see the adventures they are taking or will take. Memories of our own childhood spread the thoughts for them to go at it or points of caution learned from childhood or as an adult. You can't anticipate everything but some anticipations are pure fun.

Comment from Petriesan
I contemplate the things I've heard
are yet to come,
I am not sure, but I think there is a verb tense issue in that couplet?
(I'm told there's some), - they're?
I liked the piece
