Brooke,
They just look so awesomely cute together. I just want to hug them. LOL Easy to read and follow. Lots of smiggling for me. Can't wait to see what he does next.
Love,
Barbara

Yes, two innocents melting to themselves in true love, never see faults in each other; accepting each other without bounds of age, color or statue. No deceit. How I wish the whole world will one day embrace this virtue. Great work done with deep thought.

What a lovely love poem. Maybe the two weren't very romantic, but the love was there. Nice rhythm and the flow was great. I love the line her winsome ways are so beguiled. Great job.

Hey Brooke, I cannot help but wonder if 15 years down the road, they might actually be holding hands on the same path as they go on a date. Assuming dates are not considered -- artsy fartsy grownup rituals!

Very sweet and I encourage you to hold this pic & poem to the side. You simply never know - it might go well in a wedding album. AT=/

Are they friends or siblings? They look cute.

I always enjoy reading your poems, Brooke. I discovered different styles. I enjoyed this swap quatrain and I want to make one soon. Good morning and have a nice day! c", Mae

    Mae, thank you :-) They live a block away from each other and share a nanny, so they play together every afternoon while my daughter works half time. Brooke

Isn't your housework and laundry piling up? Do you just sit around all of the time writing poetry? Again, my dear, you've struck the mother lode. It's beautiful poem and a
salute to your poetry. As almost always you have constructed a poem which touches the heart. It will go in my "save forever" pile.

This poem makes me smile thinking of a beautiful little girl with the sweet smile only children can have. It is easy to picture walking somewhere holding the hand of this small child with her swinging the clasped hands back and forth the way children do.

They are such adorable children. She does have a beautiful smile. Is there much difference in their age? We could all bask a while in her smile. I'm sure her mom will love this poem. Well done as usual Brooke. :<) Nancy

Hi Brooke, this is very sweet and the picture of Sawyer and Chloe is adorable. Sawyer's a little Casanova, eh? I love the internal rhyming of revealed/ yield in the first stanza and I love the use of punctuation (parenthetical aside) there. Very smooth flowing quatrains and the swapping of lines works well in this write.

    Thanks so much, Gail - the poor kid never stood a chance with this girl - she is the one who initiated all the touchy feely stuff with a kiss on the cheek here, a hug there, a touch, constant comments about how cute he is. He finally decided he might as well kiss back. LOL :-) Brooke
