Its been a long time. It is nice to see a Sawyer poem. You, as always, paint a wonderful word picture. Your heart shows with every line.

Nice parallel drawn between math calculations and human feelings. When we can't calculate something, it is easy to understand that problem is beyond our comprehension. But trying to express our feelings, in an abstract sense, is impossible.

Ergo the comparison to math, a concrete concept.

Good luck with the contest!

Cheers,
DW

What a precious little boy and a fine descriptions of feelings of a proud grandma I think. Isn't this your grandson? He is precious. Blessings. Barbara

Ah, so cute! Grandma's in love. Easy to see, and easy to understand. The picture makes me grin. So cute.

Lovely use of verbs, great rhyming and the meter is dead on. Fun to read your stuff, Brooke. Good luck in the contest.

    Not at all I am making a statement not a suggestion. It is so evident and appropriate too. Keep on loving him. There is nothing better than loving those special innocent cuties--Erica

I think I'm calling a foul. You've got material to write about for at least 10 more years. If you have more grandchildren you can be writing cutesy stuff for years. nice job. mike

He sure looks like he belongs there, Brooke! A wonderful poem describing the impossibility of expressing the worth of love. An enjoyable poem.

Mmm I see Daddy has a little office boy ready to help here Brooke LOL
Cute little poem and indeed there are no words that can calculate the power of love and you've expressed that expertly here and in super rhyme.
I often find tercets falling short...like they need more in the stanza but yours felt complete and finished...though cleverly led into the next. How DO you do it woman? LOL
I LIKE this format. Some smart "ate" rhymes too. Well done, my friend.
Cheers P

    Thanks so much, Phillippa. Daddy doesn't let Sawyer take over the office very often, so he was very much enjoying the power of the buttons. LOL Brooke

Sawyer really sells this poem, as he seems to be trying his level best to calculate some unreachable summation. Your rhymes are clean and precise. You create a wonderful mood that seems to be a perfect accompaniment to that amazing photo of Sawyer.
