A delightful ABC poetry contest entry.
I like the beautiful imagery and how you have related it
back to things so special to Sawyer.
'Tis true that there is such beauty all around us but we are often to blind to see.
Good luck in the contest.

This is a beautiful combination of poetry and art. Sawyer has great taste as the moon and butterflies are among some of my favorite parts of nature too. As always beautifully done.

    Thank you so much, Dinah - to balance things out he loves vacuum cleaners, ceiling fans, elevators and buses. LOL :-) Brooke

The wonder of creation seems to come across this fine poetic gem. I love the image of "Mariposa flutters by", and its awesome presentation. Excellent! Enrique

I love the thoughts expressed in your
sweet ABC poem about the mysteries
that surround us and so many would be missed
if we don't "lift our eyes" This could also relate to
lifting our eyes and hearts to God. if we don't we miss so much.
Nice alliteration and assonance in your first line
with "luna/luminates."
I enjoyed the rhyming lines and the beautiful artwork. Nancy

Nice ABC poem using poetic devices of alliteration and rhyme. overhead, a mystery and young and old, behold the vastness of space and the constant of the moon and sun.

    Thank you, Petriesan. I checked to make sure luminate is a variant spelling - illuminates would not fit the syllable count of the Whitney form. :-) Brooke

How beautiful. Brooke, I love the picture to this one as well. To me, this looks like a child in space, looking at earth with moon's reflection in its seas. Good luck with the ABC.

Hi Brooke. I enjoy your entry as usual.

Love the first line particularly. There is a sense of wonder and mystery in this little poem. You obviously follow the rules of the contest and I liked the subject explored.

Very nice. Yes the stars have always been of the two great mysteries for man. The ocean being the other, but the sea has limits, while the stars are without numbers. Thoughtful writing.
