I Contemplate

Comment from curious novice
This is a side of Sawyer I haven't seen before. Playful, mental adventures, no slide to slide, no pony to ride, just visions of his own making, the whole world on his inside.
I like this new side because I can relate. I'm a dreamer by nature myself, still filled with a hopeful curiosity 5 + decades in the making. I too believe "so many things beneath the sun/are yet to come."
Thanks, Brooke, for posting this little tribute to imagination. Be well.

curious novice, thanks so much :-) He is quite observant, not always on the run. Last night when my daughter yawned, he commented - Mommy's tired. Goodnight, Mommy :-) Thanks so much :-) Brooke

Hi Brooke, this poem just made me smile. All of your poems have a subtle sense of peace and joy behind them--which in turn make them a joy to read. Excellent use of the octogram and the message never took a backseat to the form--a truly wonderful result.

Comment from Frankeddy
Another beautiful poem with those charming pictures of Sawyer.
The lovely wording and style in which you write the poem I can visualize that
Sawyer is presenting it.
One day I'm sure he will be and chuckling with you about it.
Just lovely.

Comment from fastdigits
I believe the only time I would stop
to read children's poetry is if it
came from you.
I am enthralled with all your many
forms of writing, writings where
I am never disappointed in the
song they sing, or just the majesty
of the melodies that your words
caress the heart with.
Well done

Comment from Lena Borghi
Great job on this complex form, Brooke! I enjoyed the meter in this piece; feels almost syncopated in places.
Great rhymes and such a wonderful theme of all the wonder that awaits the young. Sawyer is such an inspiration for you!
Enjoyed it very much. Thank you for sharing!

As always I love the message of your poem. It may be addressed to the children but its message also rings true for the adults. Whether a mere child or an adult, possibilities do abound and are looked forward to with great expectations. Thanks for sharing, God bless.

Brooke, this is a lilting meter that of a playful pony running in a meadow. The positivity of the message is uplifting-a joy to read. :0 GracieAnn

Comment from Lulube
Nicely done Brooke. You captured the plausible thoughts with great imageries and the emotions through great penmanship for your little Sawyer.
I really do think that the World's Records people should drop by and start a new record for the most poems written for and to or inspired by, a grandson.
love your child like thoughts
