This is a lovely rhymed poem, capturing spring and the curiosity of a child in exploration of its wonders. My morning glories are always mixed with moon flowers so the same wonderment continues through the night.

Comment from Carolyn 'Deaton' Stephens
I always wish I could use just one word when reviewing a poem such as this. Awesome !!!! But as you know we must go on, and tell you that your 'da dums were in perfect sequence, syllable count right on, and so on.
Loved this poem Brooke, Carolyn

Morning Glories are one of my favorites. Another delightful peek into the magic world of innocence. Nice color coordination. Sawyer is growing by leaps and bounds. Love the Easter Bunny.

A very lovely poem Brooke. I love the picture of Sawyer, as always. He is such a cutie. This was a delightful read. The flow is good and the rhymes are, too. Miss Sally

Comment from JavaJunkie
Adorable subject with fanciful lines... Very enjoyable read. I especially enjoyed the quatrain about the moonbeam slumbering in her province. I thought that was clever and illustrative, and I think that dew is what must often be on a hummingbird's mind:)

Such a sweet write, Brooke! I especially loved "till a hummingbird suggested that I search for dew instead". That brought a great big smile to my face.
Lovely quatrains in 8/7/8/7 syllable count with abcb rhyming.
Sawyer is looking bigger all of a sudden (more like a little boy than a toddler). :) A very cute picture!

Connie, thank you so much for your thoughtful review. He is now over three feet tall, God bless him :-) I'm not ready for him to be over the baby phase. :-) Brooke

At least he'll still love getting hugs and kisses from Grandma for a few more years. :)
Comment from the blue pixel
At Sawyer's age, every day is full of promise. Why can't we grow up and still feel that way? I try but so much depends on how I find my mother for she can made me happy, if she is feeling well, or have me almost in a heap, when she't not. But enough of my problems. Your poem took a different direction where it led MY mind just by reading the first stanza if not just the title alone.
You took a look at nature and described in your inimitable fashion, where natural things belong. The moon knows its place is the night time, and the sun appears when its turn has arrived. I loved the whole third stanza especially when a little bird tells you to "Search for dew instead". Your appreciation of all that this world has to offer shines through your every word and you demonstrate as always that there is something to delight in, no matter what. To give little drops of dew their 'due', (couldn't resist), is typical Brooke in my mind and that's always a very good thing. xx Carol

Comment from bob cullen
How does one rate the perfect poet. You use words like anapestic that I don't understand. To me it sounded like a disease or a headache pill. All I know is your poems always flow with the most melodic flow. I find myself burst into song, and that I promise you is not a pretty sound when I read your work.
In my opinion many of your works could so easily be converted to song.
Your poetry makes us writers of verse feel second rate. Another fantastic poem
