I had to read that this had mixed meter. Wow. That's why I say if it reads like a dream and sounds like a dream... it's a dream! This is one of those forms, I think, that you make bow to your skills! I love how the line moves through your piece so fresh every time it appears. I was curious about the rainbow's end, if you have the inside scoop. mikey

Thanks so much, Mikey - if I locate the place the rainbow ends, I will be selling the answer to the highest bidder. LOL Brooke :-)

All your poems are good, Brooke, but this one is just too cute for words. I was that kind of kid, too. Why? Why? How come? Must have driven my parents crazy. Dad was 50 when I came along, although mother had half-raised four before me. She had asthma, and was ill, so she'd just say, "To make little girls ask silly questions." That used to irritate me, especially when my teen aged older half-brother decided to use it too.

Thanks so much, Nor. You and I could have been fast friends as children. I never stopped chatting and asking questions, hence my nursery school teacher nicknamed me Babbling Brooke :-) I appreciate your generous sixth star. Brooke

A clever poem that will make every parent smile. When those little 'huge' questions start coming, it is an indicator of what is puzzling the child and the perfect time to enlighten and connect. Of course, you do know why the sky is blue... cheers judester

Comment from Janet Foor
Sawyers smile is infectious. One can't help but smile right back at him.
Another delightful and uplifting poem with an awesome repeating line, excellent rhyming couplets and good use of alliteration throughout.
Blessings

I can tell Sawyer is very proud of himself; and he ought to be. LOL I enjoyed reading your poem. It flowed nicely and asked some very interesting questions on some serious subjects.

Barbara, I just love when he figures something new out and is so pleased that he can control some little part of his world. Babies are born so helpless and dependent. What a powerful feeling it must be to learn you can actually make things happen yourself :-) Brooke
Comment from Ridley Williams
Hello Brooke,
...and, how would you know, if no one told you? There's always someone who wants to have their way, but we can't go through our lives worrying about what "they" might say. I appreciated the solid rhyme and meter you used to present this idea, well done. Best wishes, Bill
(bow, I was watching the weather channel this morning... are you still getting rain in your neck of the country? Will winter ever end? b)

"Nobody's shared why rivers bend or where I'll find the rainbow's end, or where a falling star might go, but somebody thinks I ought to know." - So true, somebody always thinks we should know and it is generally the ones who think they know it all LOL. This is just delightful and there is no point talking construction since your pieces are always flawless. Nicely done and I thank you so much for sharing this with me.
