Brooke, what a wonderful poem about the joyfulness that Sawyer has brought into your life. They are such precious beings, these grandkids or ours! Hope your dandelions keep on glowing forever! Jerri

What beautiful tribute to Sawyer, Brooke. Of course, his birth was a great blessing and I am secure of that he is the major font of your joy today in day. As grandma, I know very well the bliss that we received trought of the grandsons. I love your poem and the smiling face of Sawyer. Well done.

Another delightful poem filled with childhood images and a sensitivity born of motherhood. I particularly like the second stanza, so poetic in its phrasing. This is a great sonnet to enter and I wish you the best of luck.

Love the theme of your Sonnet.
The gift of love a child brings to our lives
certainly does brighten our lives and
chase the gloom away. I'm so glad this
has happened to you. How lovely that you see his
smiling face each day in pictures.
Excellent Sonnet form as to rhyme and meter.
A nice turn in third stanza and a meaningful closing couplet.
Best of luck in the contest. Nancy

Now that precious little smile could chase away anyone's blues and make the sunshine come out from behind the clouds. Awesome pictures and delightful poem. God loves you and so do I.

I liked the purpose that came with this poem. The rhythm was harder to get into but I am used to your shorter lines and the second time I read it, it was easier. I loved the images you used and the way you wrapped it up with your favorite flower. Nicely done.

You have such a lovely voice in your writing; snippets of good old "ah moments" in your work. I always liken your work to the kind I could curl up to and just escape. "or at the very least..." lovely wording. "dandelion seeds in endless flight." Beautiful writing.

Such a very charitable, bighearted and benevolent piece of poetry that I had an enjoyable time reading. Technically your rhyming was neither forced, labored or strained. Your double rhyming quatrain's rhythm mode very smoothly which made it so simple to read your poem clearly. I am so glad that you are so happy with the enjoyment that you have been given by the Lord from this glorious child. I could see it in your writing so perpetually. I am very much the same way with my grand nieces and nephews. Thank you so much for the Reed and sharing in posting this for others. May you and yours always be blessed.
Alex
PS: I would like to wish you good luck on the Sonnet Poetry Contest.

    you are so sincerely welcome Brooke. I have written a poem called "May Your Adventures Never Outlive U". This is really written by the influence of you, Maureen, Judi, Rama Devi and mumsyone mainly and just a few of the other women I have known.
