Comment from Sandra Stoner-Mitchell
This is a hard form to write, Brooke, I must take a look at the rules. I read this one a few times, it's really very good, but I still can't figure out how to write one. Anyway, back to your poem, it really is good, Brooke, and of course your inspiration is truly on form. He will be asking for lessons next. Your poem has a different meaning, at least to me, it is a metaphor of how you felt when Sawyer was born into your life. I quite understand that feeling. :) Good luck in the contest! xsx Sandra

What's a wrapped refrain? That's a new one on me. I liked the thoughts in this verse. I found the piece to be very poetic and a smooth read. I enjoyed reading and writing this response for it... John

"I don't want to work. I just want to bang on my drum all day." Sorry, just poped into my head after looking at the picture. I liked this, its filled with a the tender sense of finding that special someone and all the wonder that goes with it. Good stuff, Brooke, and good luck with the contest.

Comment from Tonulak
Dear Brooke,
This is a very curious form that I thought you did very well with. There was nice irony of not hearing your song until someone else sang it. It's kind of what music really is; you hear it in your head vaguely, but when it becomes flesh in the studio, you really hear it. Best of luck--Ted

Comment from fastdigits
I will never understand what a
wrapped refrain is, but I do understand
a melodic phrasing of thoughts and
feelings that is mesmerizing as they
fall so gracefully down the screen in
never ending beauty.
Well done

Comment from Maureen's Pen
Dear Brooke - Must say Cutie pie has surpassed your poem:) How that picture just reminds me of my girls with their guitars. Though Ainsley all of three I think, called it ; " A Ding a ding ding" - don't ask me I haven't a clue - Excellent poem skillfully crafted as always - the message within it was powerful - May all our songs brighten the world and all within it.
Thanks for sharing it and good luck in the contest my friend.
