Thanks for putting out this inspiring rhyming English sonnet, that I hope one day to write one as good as this one..And ending with the dandelions, I can only think of Spring..Sawyer smiles now even when he is eating...Though, blueberries, I just love & smile a lot, too, when they are in season..

Your immense love of Sawyer is very emotionally reflected in this peace and the words you used:
"But just as joy seemed lost beyond my scope,
your life began and dried up all my tears."
Well done, Brooke.

It must be redundant to read all the glowing reviews. You have an uncanny gift for imparting your messages of love and beauty. My grandchildren are the light of my life too, and I often describe my feelings for them as falling deeply, madly inlove all over again. You have many more love stories to go as they (grandchildren) never cease to inspire us. Dana Wand (Magic Wand)

This poem reminds me about how I feel about Christmas - when I was a child it held so much magic and joy - then as a teen and young adult it was just a day to get presents then when that was over it was nothing special - Then as a parent my children made the joy bloom again.

Always such a delight to read your very perfectly structured poetry and this one is a clear illustration of how the sonnet should be done.

Your face has chased away all trace of gloom,
as dandelions now glow in golden bloom.
Totally love these last 2 lines, made my day light up to

This is a perfectly done English sonnet, Brooke, which of course does not surprise me. It warms my heart to read some of the details of how Sawyer has blessed your life with renewed enthusiasm. I have seen (and experienced) many times how a grandchild can revitalize a tired life. Love, Jeanie

A very good poem (Sonnet). I enjoyed every bit of it especially the way you did not allow the doom and gloom of the earlier verses to consume you but artfully turned it around by the appearance of 'your face' and how Dandelions which had taken wishful flight had started growing again. Well done. Thanks for sharing such a wonderful tale of hope. Emeka

This is a lovely Sonnet, You've captured the essence of how consuming those emotions can be, Brooke. The real charm to your work comes from your ability to summon hope (and a happy ending). I enjoyed this very much, thank you :)Linda
