Dear Brooke - Cutie Pie looks to have his hands full with that umbrella. As always skilled writing and full of smiles....a great way to think of life....a drum:)
Thanks for sharing.

Maureen, thank you so much :-) My daughter tells me the umbrella is quite heavy, but he's a determined kid. LOL Brooke :-)
Comment from fastdigits
Poetically you've covered all your
bases as life rolls down through
the years, and as always you leave
an artistic subliminal message on
how to cope with everything that
is thrown your way.
Well done

Comment from His Grayness
Well Brooke: only a five because I'm all outa sixes and of course this one really deserves it. Now I want you to know something very special....Your inspirations here, meant for Sawyer...are actually getting to me now and I want you to know how much I appreciate the smiles and uplifting that they bring. This has to become a book for ALL kids as it would be a true BEST SELLER and help so many get onto the right mental tracks their parents may not have the wisdom or communications skills to deliver. This is MAGIC!!!Vance

Comment from words
I love this whimsical, upbeat verse. It is my first read of the day and just what I needed to hear.
This puts me in mind of driving down the coast in a brand new convertible ... wind in my hair, radio blasting great music.
A great read with the sweetest of messages.
Hugs, d

Comment from Just2Write
This is an interesting form, to be sure. I liked how one can reverse the phrases in a line and subtly change the emphasis of the words and the focus of thought.
You have a very positive outlook in this poem. A message that says 'I'm proud - and I am a winner!'
Yup - I'd say so.

Comment from elchupakabra
This is my first encounter with a swapped quatrain and I'm delighted that you're the author, because it was executed masterfully. The flow and cadence of the piece was pitch perfect as nearly all your works tend to be. You really have an ear for poetry, Brooke. Great work and thanks for sharing.

What would I do without your poems, Brooke. I just came from a depressing, intense reading. I like the interesting format of this one, it reminded me of an old Barbara Streisand song and has given me a surge of energy! Hugs, Lou

Comment from Alan K Pease
If Sawyer can follow these poems as advice through his formative years, there will no stopping him. He will make friends of many who come to love him as we do - and you.
