Brooke, a stunningly beautiful piece in both wording and presentation. Such a gorgeous picture of the landscape and of course the little guy. Most enjoyable, my friend~Debbie

Hello my friend,
Love the mixed meter on this and the greater message woven throughout your cute story. We should all appreciate and even savor what we have. Focusing on what we don't have will make one bitter and unhappy. Terrific metaphor, enjoyed the read immensely.
All the best, Rodger

save your mouse lol

This photograph gives new meaning to the old expression "Flower Child"! I enjoyed your title and its repeat along with your varied meter and alternating rhymes. Your personification of the "moon" and description of the "dew drops" as a "prize" are quite effective. More hugs- Joan

I love your poems that celebrate the simple joys in life and engage the imagination we once had as a child. This could be made into a picture book. Dewdrops are so small and easily overlooked.

So very glad I had one six star rating left for the week. This poem is exceptional. I think it makes a beautiful bed time read. Sawyer is so cute.

Hi Brooke,

This is a beautiful poem and what a darling picture of Sawyer. It must be nice to hold the number one spot in ratings. Bravo!

You have a remarkable way taking and seeing the small everyday things that so many of us take for granted and spinning them into a masterful story written perfect poetic form. Masterful.
