Loved the photograph of Sawyer. He's a wonderful little boy. I have to say that I truly loved your poem and the asymmetry between clarity and black and white is so true. I am currently writing a autobiography and I've entitled it: White to Black (With Many shades in between)

Comment from DanielEkine
Clarity has to make itself known to the brilliance of this author. Very contemplative and refreshing. The author note agrees with the work from the author. Very precise and eloquent. I am so glad I enjoyed the rhyme of the work. It's precious to the author. I can feel it through.

Comment from abbasjoy
I truly love your writing, Brooke. It is simple, but always has such truths, which get us thinking.
I like the pictures of Sawyer, it adds to the naturalness of the poem and draws in the reader.
It is so true that it is very difficult sometimes to distinguish your answers in black and white, for often fogginess takes over and we are never sure whether we are actually making the right decision.
Loved it.

Comment from Dawn Munro
Wow, no aww this time - more like awe, my friend. Seriously! Brooke, the way your mind works is amazing; this poem is amazing. "The way the greys keep popping up..." <
(Btw - great shot of Sawyer - quite different from the usual kid picture - she, too is so talented. I did tell you photography is my other love, right?)

Good rhyming and great child's tone of wonderment. Very good questioning words, ifs, whens, and whys. Great photo of Sawyer. Very nice poem:)

Comment from acerisestory
I like the message of your poem, Brooke: life is not all blacks and whites; probably more gray than anything else. Sawyer will learn that soon enough, I suppose. Nice use of alliteration: whens/whys; clarity/call. Of course, the flow is wonderful, and the rhyming and enjambment are right on. And, let's see, Sawyer is as cute as ever. Thank you for sharing.

This is a wonderful poem and it was very well written. And I love the picture of Sawyer, such a beautiful background to go with your lovely poem.

Hi Brooke,
Those doggarned greys! Always clouding the issue, making the simple complex, never letting one get a straight answer ...
Good poetic way to say it neatly.

Sawyer is really getting big. That picture of him in your profile with the windmill flag sees him all legs. Loved the rhyme scheme. Your rhythm is always perfect. I like: when and why and blur and black.

Well, my lady, you've done it again today and probably will again tomorrow. Do you just sit around writing poems all day? It seems like it. At lease this one didn't pull at the heart string as many of them do. Thank you for sharing your very clever poem.
