Hi. This little guy sure does bring joy to your life and muse:-). Well a lovely sonnet.It works as it should.

.seemed lost beyond my scope,
your life began and dried up all my tears.
With every smile you flashed I found new hope
that reignited stars and eased my fears.

I taught in a preschool for one year and one of the things I loved best about it was watching as my two and three year old charges discovered things for the first time. Concepts that we no longer even register as adults are in fact fascinating and exciting and being with someone who's going through that stage reminds us of what we are missing...

    Thanks so much, Stephanie. I agree with you about how wondrous it is to watch little ones discovering the world and being so excited about it. Sawyer LOVES fans, calls them wind, and gets visibly excited when seeing them. A visit to Target is an adventure for him LOL Brooke :-)

Grandchildren are such a source of delight and seem to turn grey skies to blue.
Your perfect English sonnet depicts all the love and happiness your delightful little grandson injects into your life.
Perfect Sonnet structure and a lovely and very special subject choice.

Hi Brooke,

Your grandson Sawyer has deifinitely been an inspiration for your muse. Love the positive feel these poems have. Discovery is a wonderful thing and I love the journies that both you and Sawyer are taking here. I don't know much about Sonnets, but this one led me to a smile.

Very Nicely Done My Friend!

The lightning bugs that once lit up my nights, had faded like the twinkling of each star. Brooke, I found this one to be a delightful read. His little face would chase away all trace of gloom. Good luck in the sonnet contest. :-) Carolyn

A sonnet full of sorrowful angst until a face appears that dispels it all. Expressive and so very human. We seem to go in spurts, fun and joy, then depression and regret. And it is the people in our lives that make it all worth while.

I love that closed-mouth smile of Sawyer's. Also, when he breaks down and just laughs. Sweet boy.
