I lovvve it! What a great form...swap, eh? Looks like fun to write also. Love the photo of Sawyer with that giant umbrella he removed from its stand. I can see why! He's gotta be having a blast with that huge thing!

Thanks so much, Phyllis. It has become his favorite backyard activity. He takes it down, parades it around, then waits for Mommy to put it back in place so he can take it down again. LOL Brooke

I love the rhythm of this one. Much like a band marching in tune. Great photo to go with this one. Sawyer is such an energetic young man...I bet he keeps mom and dad on their toes. Very nice work with this one. It is a new form for me but I like it very much.

Thanks so much, Valerie. Yep, his mom has to watch him like a hawk because he is smart, curious and fearless - that spells trouble. :-) Brooke

You have a great kid's voice with these poems. It's a though your were the voice of the child. You can really speak for them. I loved moral of this poem. I love the green background colors that goes so well with the content of the poem. Green stands for Go.

There's always something new I learn from you, Brooke! I am sure this swapped quatrain poem is very complicated to manage, but that didn't stop you from doing it, no doubt, perfectly. I so love the message -- always upbeat. Perfect rhyming. Sawyer is handling that umbrella quite well, by the way. So cute! Alana
