Comment from Saucey
To be loved and have significance is a blessing. Being a grandmother is awesome. I feel you so much with this piece. Purpose. I love it when I can feel the writer's heart. Wondering what am I going to do next was evident, loneliness then happiness. I love the rhyme scheme and style. I especially love, "With every smile you flashed I found new hope that reignited stars and eased my fears." Best of luck in the contest. Thanks for sharing.

Comment from Adri7enne
Oh, Lordy! We'd better brace ourselves for a rash of dandelion poems! LOL!
I just love your sonnet. That's exactly how it must be to have such a delightful little charmer in your life. It must light up all the dark corners - an affirmation of life. Wow!
Loved your easy flow and terrific rhymes. Good luck in the contest, Brooke.

Your story touched me for my life was just the same in many ways. I felt embraced by your words, touched by the simularities. I hope to read more of your work in the near future.

Comment from Righteous Riter
Good use of the sonnet rhyme scheme. Good end rhyming. Good perfect rhyming with tears/fears...gloom/bloom. Good alliteration with happiness/had...just/joy...flashed/found...away/all...glow/golden. Good rhythm and flow. Good complimentary photo. Best of luck in the contest.

Comment from RodG
Ah, Brooke, you have written a lovely sonnet here that can be read on several levels. It's indeed a love poem where the Speaker has found new love--and hope--in a new love's smile. It's also the poem of a grandparent who has rediscovered joy and hope in her grandchild's smiles.
Your quatrains are very smooth-flowing and the rhymes are excellent.

Comment from trimple
Superbly written English sonnet Brooke.
The thoughts that weave throughout your piece are a wonderful reminder of how precious we are to one another.
Fulfilled by the very existence of another life, is to a great extent the meaning of life itself. To feel needed and wanted.
Definitely a sixer here and a number 1 contender for the competition
Kind regards

Comment from Dawn of Tomorrow
Awwww isn't being a grandmother just the most exciting and wonderful feeling in the world. You hit right into my hear with this one. I have two young men that I'm so proud of and another about to pop out any day now. I just love this sonnet, Brooke. I think it's a shoe in. Great, great, job.

I can feel the emotions of sadness, loneliness and happiness in your poem. It is full of great imagery in the details.

Ah thank you very much. Just what I needed to cheer up my day. After a bad day at work, and some nasty reviews, a dose of The Cute Little One is just what I needed. Thank you for sharing this lovely poem.

Comment from Rondeno
It doesn't take too much working out to realize that this beautifully-paced, easily-rhymed and touching sonnet is a eulogy to that charming little rascal in the photos. I find myself very moved, brooke.
