This flows so smoothly, both in content of the thought being presented and in meter. It follows the prompt rules, including an excellent rhyme scheme as required--and it is adorable. Love Sawyer with his guitar. He looks so intent.

    Debi, thanks so much. Yes, he does get that intent look in many situations because, I think, he really is "into" what he's doing :-) Brooke

You write this wrapped refrain with such flawless ease...your poem pays tribute to whom you share your life...what a nice tribute. You make a long relationship sound beautiful when you choose your path. Nice sensory details and rhyme and rhythm.

Dear Brooke,
Shades of "Back to the Future" with a Woodstock contender or maybe just a new teen age heartthrob in the making? Either way a delightful piece of poetry.
Regards
Reg

A winning entry, there's no doubt. Definitely singable and with gret rhyme. In this, I can see the child's point of view but also the mother's. Best of luck - Pete

What a precious rockstar, Brooke. He is so into his song and a southpaw at that. I so enjoyed your words and the picture of Sawyer, made my heart smile. Blessings

Brooke, that IS a delightful photo of Sawyer, and the poem does it justice. The wrapped refrain is an interesting competition and form of poetry that looks quite challenging. I enjoyed reading this one and wonder if I dare enter the competition, Giddy

Hi Brooke, this is the first time I have heard of a wrapped refrain. You have written a lovely poem following the instructions given for it.

Great word choices in your lovely poem
each note imbued with meaning as I play my song.

Sawyer has given the real image of the musician.

Well done, and good luck in the contest, Mary

A really great poem which flowed well and was easy to understand. The only thing I'm not sure of is how the first paragraph connects to the second. The first is about a song and the second is about a path. I don't see the connection, but otherwise very well done.

    Tegan, thank you for your review. Both stanzas are spoken from the POV of a person who finds something lacking in her life, some connection, and in both stanzas the appearance of the person being addressed makes life considerably better. Brooke
