Hi Brooke,

A lovely word picture for Sawyer, and a nice play on the words to make it. It carries a lovely message too.

This is yet another interesting and beautiful poem from the author in this piece of writing. Luna is a beautiful thing indeed and I love to look up at the moon in wonder myself.

Hi Brooke,
I now have another word for butterfly. Thank you.
I like the rhyme and even tempo in this piece as well as the philosophy. One never knows what to expect until we look up to see.

Now, Brooke, when I NEED an 'author note' explanation, you don't give one for 'Mariposa'. :-)

Excellent trochaic meter and thought-provoking write. Indeed, to 'see' is far more vivid than to 'look'.

Nice one!

Best wishes, Ted

    Sorry, Brooke - it is, though I still don't know what it means.

    I missed it the 1st time, as I've mislaid my spectacles and was having to read through the bottoms of two beer glasses for magnification. ;-) xx

Dedicating this poem to a child is such a magical and charming gift. Did our poet offer the moon to Sawyer? Much like a suitor offers it to his loved one? If so, will it bring more than smiles and laughter to the child knowing luna was given to him? I could hear a long and delightful squeal. Therein lies more mystery for him. Might he be asking a question to his fertile young mind: How do I take home this gift?

A shining orb in the sky and a fluttering butterfly - these two magical creations will give any child endless mysteries to delight on. When the moon wanes and the butterfly flutters away, will the child search for both? On their return, the cycle of mystery lives on.

    I would travel to the moon and back to get Sawyer anything he wants :-) Thank you so much, Dennis :-) Brooke

    Dear Brooke,

    If all goes well as planned, your "would travel to the moon" could become a reality. Within ten years, Virgin Atlantic(if I remember right)will have scheduled commercial flights to the moon. Your chance to bring home a piece of luna for Sawyer. Question is, will it be affordable? I hope FS will sponsor contests offering flight tickets to the moon as prizes. First Prize winner - a round trip ticket; Consolation prize - one way. Wow! that would be ha,ha a real wow!
reply by the author on 16-Mar-2014
    I think a hundred bucks is as high as FS will ever go, my wishful friend. LOL

    Well then, I wish things and prizes will change in the coming few years.

I love the theme of this one. Excellent use of L alliteration along with the use of T consonance throughout.
The rhyming makes it even more interesting.
The mysteries around us will unveil only when we make an attempt to explore them. One needs to always try, and this is what makes the life beautiful.
Striking presentation of your work as well.
Very well written. :-)

Regards,
Anupam

Hi Brooke :) This is a beautiful little poem. I love that you incorporated rhyme into the ABC form, it gives your poem a magical feel. Nice alliteration in Luna luminates. My Grandad always used to refer to butterflies as flutterbys - your 2nd line reminded me of that! I also love your presentation...
Good luck in the contest. Kindest regards as always, Debra :)
