I found it! What a couple of cute kids. To think you've captured this moment in time with verse. It will be wonderful for them to see this when they're older. As always, well penned, Brooke.

Another lovely poem with perfect rhyme. I believe one day this little girl and boy, will read your poems and smile at the wonderful memories you have captured.

The picture of them holding hands is perfect.

Delightful photo of these two little mates and a lovely swap quatrain of the simple things. Clasped hands, smiles as they run through their young life together. Nice read,

another adewpearler!
Like a sausage factory of sweet little poems on tap!
Would have liked to have seen perfect rhyme especially when rhyming in AABB format

maybe revisit the second verse line 1 and 2 for perfect rhyme like the rest of the poem..I love poems that start with a preposition or a conjunction

In Chloe's hand, In Chloe's smile
All is clasped and revealed
I've lost my heart; can't reconcile
My love is forever sealed

In Chloe's heart, I've lost mine
Our love becomes as one
We'll never part, this love's divine
And each day will always be fun

In Chloe's smile, I feel her love
I feel it in every way
In Chloe's smile, I never get enough
She really makes my day

    thanks for your poetic response to my poem, Dip - I fear we will never be of one mind on the issue of proximate rhyme, my friend :-) Brooke

    and that's the beauty of poetry and diversity of ones perception its healthy to have different tastes and styles so never change each others and just accept warts and all

Sawyer's got a girl friend, an attractive little girl with expressive features. More than likely she's stole Grandma's heart as well as Sawyer's. Expressly rhythmic, and some delightful unusual rhymes. Kenny

Lol, into the girls, are we. This is such a cute poem. One day Sawyer will open his poetry book and linger on this great photo. Then he will read the poem and something in his little heart will spark. Loved it. :) luv jada

    Jada, thank you so much. Even when he was just learning to talk he would make pretend phone calls to her, and her favorite thing to say is, Sawyer is so cute! LOL I have great photos of the two of them kissing each other on the cheek, which they do all the damn time. LOL :-) Brooke

A picture paints a thousand words, and it seems you have found some of them
Such beauty and innocence, words may not be enough to depict the moment.
A jolly good write, and a unique moment captured in time within this rhyming structure.

Have a good day,
Best wishes
RG

On one level just a tale of childhood friendship - on another perhaps a love poem.

You have used the swap quatrain with small variations to good effect in this charming little piece.
