This is uplifting and sweet. I feel better for reading it. A light and airy yet somehow managing to dive deep into understanding life and nature and hopefulness and what it's all about - persistence and learning to love. Thanks for the lovely poem.

Dew on morning glory can be so pretty. Great visual imagery created. Hummingbirds are noisy, but delightful little birds. Creative. Expressive. Well thought out. Clearly written. Nice work.

Beautiful composition. You create such pleasant and vivid image with your poetry. The rhymes are perfect and I like the opening lines the best. Magical.

And look at the wall of blooms behind him. Such a delightful photo that
adds depth to your smooth and lovely verse. I, once again, am carried on your words. Smiles, Robin :)

Comment from Janie King
It seems like I have been gone forever and I am so far behind. I got home late Thurs. night. We had mom's funeral Tues. Tues. night we ended up in the Er with Krystal in a severe asthma attack. They got things stabilized and gave her RX's which we filled and left Wed. morning for home. Three hours out, in Indiana she couldn't breathe again and we ended up in Er for another six hours. God to Sikeston, Mo at 11 pm. Left a 7 am got into Mountain Home around 2 pm and went straight to ER with her again and spent another five hours. The drive was a 14 hour drive. I have her at my house on oxygen still. The poem is lovely as always and I love our little Sawyer. God loves you and so do I.

Wow, that sounds like one uninvited adventure. I hope Krystal is OK now. You are a good friend. It's good to see you home. Thank you, Janie :-) Brooke
Comment from rod007
There is a great moral in this great poem. The simple dew is indeed a prize as are friendly smiles from folks. Simple but a great treasure. These are the lines I like best:
" When tonight the dark's descending,
I will see the moon arise,
but for now while she is sleeping
I have dew drops as my prize."
Well done, Brooke.

Comment from Caressa_08
This is such a beautiful, exceptional poem & that of Spring & a glimpse of May & a Midwest Summer too, as California, these morning glories & so many other sweet smelling flowers must be blooming every where there..Very complimentary picture to highlight your poem of Sawyer enjoying the wonderful scent of what appears to be a hybrid purple morning glory. Though, still a little guy the flower appears probably bigger than it is, covering up his face, except his eyes letting us know, it must be nice..With words that tell of moonbeams & hidden until how this particular flower comes out with the morning dew, & images set by descriptive words, making this poem come to life, like the morning glory does with morning dew & rhyme ..I really enjoyed the read. & the perception with this, On A Day Alive With Promise...

Charming rhymed poem extolling the delight of dew, the moon, and the quest for beauty in both the day and the night.
Your talent is such fun - reading your clever, well written poems makes me smile.
Excellent, as usual.
Great picture.

A musical rhythm and ABAB rhyme make this poem about moonbeams and dewdrops sing. I like the adventure and discovery aspect of it, Brooke. :) nancy

I love the picture and it goes great with your poem. I particularly love the night time and the moon but am becoming a little accustomed to the light. Great poem.
