I have no clue what a wrapped refrain is, but.... that being said I enjoyed reading your poem. It flowed nicely and I am sure it will do well in the contest.

This is a very beautiful poem and you always capture that child essence that is always so pure. This takes me back many years to my youngest son. He would wear his straw cowboy hat and with his little guitar, sitting on a stump, sing to the neighbors. It still makes me smile. Thank you.

You are most welcome, Brooke. This guy is huge after 30 + years. I suspect if I got him a hat and the guitar, he'd give it a try. Best wishes.

Thanks for another of your wonderful poems of real life, told in such a way that readers like me can relate. And the precious accent that's given by the diapered tot playing his guitar. :-)

I read this twice, maybe thrice, in earnst to understand. But simple as the mind can be, sometimes the simple we cannot see. For in the eye of a child there are many wonders to behold, and many a story to be told. Though this has nothing to do with a review, I thought if anyone would understand, that person would be you.

Comment from Treischel
This is a wonderfully descriptive poem with Sawyer playing a guitar. Very upbeat and delightful. You captured the moment perfectly. This wrapped refrain format was done oerfectly here. I am intrigued by it an will write one myself. You really made it come alive!

Treischel, thanks so much. When you write, just be warned that the switch to 12 syllable lines is not fun. LOL Brooke :-)

'I Played My Song' is a delightfully written and heart-warming piece. I and so many others would have very little trouble in relating to this talented poet's work.

Comment from J.Byers
What first drew me in was the picture, it reminded me of one of the little children I look after, how loves to play on a little ukulele we have at the centre. :-) I'd never heard of a wrapped refrain before, and I had to read the poem a couple of times before I found the rhythm in the final couplet of each stanza. Once I got the hang on it, however, I found it to be a lovely, bouncing rhythm, and your subject matter is one many of us can relate to, when we think of someone we love.
Blessings, and good luck in the contest,
~ J.
