Brooke, I find it amazing that when I am going through something tough you manage to write a poem that perks me up and turns me around. I've had some challenging times, not only for myself, but for my son, who needs my help a lot. He needs guidance and that is all I will say right now, otherwise it would be a book!! Lovely poem and thanks so much for sharing. Miss Sally

Hi Brooke,
A nice take on the try-and-try-again theme.
You might add an extra stanza for FanStory contest entrants.
Sawyer is going to build up some huge muscles in that gym!

We sometimes give up on things in life. However, you have help us see that giving up is not the thing to do. If one way won't work try another way. Don't give up.

This is a great format, Brooke, and it appears that you have perfectly mastered it! I know it's a lot of work, but it appears so easy because you've written it! Your use of alliteration, meter and rhyme are superb. I am so impressed. And, of course, the message of the poem is very thought provoking. Thank you, once again! Alana

Comment from fastdigits
At times, one takes the beauty of
your poetic charms for granted,
expecting nothing more than pure
artistry in your tales. But each time
I pause to read one of your creations,
I become more and more a devotee
of the skill that you exude, and so
once again, I stand in awe.
Well done

Your words strike a cord with me, Brooke, we must try harder to win the game. I have to do the most painful exercises, it would be so easy to give in, but I mustn't. I will take the lesson you have given here, and hopefully I too will be like Sawyer, standing on tippy-toe. Lovely poem as usual, and inspirational. :) Sandra
