Comment from Kashif Ali Abbas
A very beautiful flow you have here...the rhyme and poetic flow is worth noting. However, what I like most is the ending and title - combining and giving lots of clarity to the word ' clarity'- You played well with the word. It appears the whole poem is just revolving around this word, nice very nice!

Hi, :-)Brooke
"Clarity"is a superior poetic statement of the attainment of a higher stage of intellectual development. Unfortunately it is one which a lot of people never achieve or the world would be a whole lot better off. Your poetic art and craft are superb.

Comment from Cajungirl
Brooke, this is absolutely beautiful. Sawyer is so darn precious. Everything used to be black or white; no middle grown. Today it is everything but black or white. There are no more use for the words right and/or wrong. We say fair and unfair. The grays area has taken over.
Thanks for sharing.

The ifs and whens and whys of life
have stopped me in my tracks -
the way the grays keep popping up
to blur the whites and blacks.
Brooke I love the way you rewrite simple truths in a stunning way
It doesn't hurt that Sawyer is so beautiful
Well done
God bless

Comment from Liandra
Another lovely poem, different this time, there's a melancholy feel surrounding the words. The photo is gorgeous, and he appears to be pondering. Or is he lost in his thoughts?

You truly are the master of the quatrain, Brooke. Not one line or rhyme ever seems forced.
You pondering on clarity resonated with me.
I swear, the older I get ... the less I know. LOL
I am, however, growing quite comfortable with ambiguity .
Am off to my daughter's baby shower. Should be loads of fun.
Hugs,d

Comment from Janie King
Excellent poem as always and Sawyer's picture is perfect for it for sure. I have had lymph fluid draining from my right leg for 8-10 weeks now. I hit the little hole accidentally and now it it infected to where I have to go to the wound center monday morning at 9 am to have it surgically debrided. I'm so far behind. God loves you and so do I.

Comment from Goodauthor
This is lovely. It is so hard to understand why people can't be honest about their reason for refusing to call. I know that feeling of being left wondering why; especially when one of my invitations was sent to my best friend. I find it so hard to understand.
