hmm..nice
Such tiny gems reveal themselves each day,
but only to those souls who slow their pace.
For those inclined to hurry on their way,
the beauty of our world is put to waste. [ the last line is striking- beauty of the world is put to waste thats cool]

Ah, the things we miss while we're hunched over our
computer screens.
I really like the 'rainbow in a shard of broken glass' line.
Such a contrast of images and representations. Truly inspired.
And I like that started and ended with violets.
Peace, Lee

Ah, look at the curious Cute Little One. At that age everything is still fascinating. This is well written. Good luck in the contest.

It is so easy to miss all those special wonders that you describe in your work. There are so many tiny miracles all about us. Best of luck in the contest!

Comment from nancyjam
I love the message in your well crafted Sonnet -
Strong ABAB rhyme and meter.
Beautiful imagery use as examples of the
wonders of creation that we might pass by if
not observant., and an lovely closing couplet.
Good luck in the contest. This should do well. Nancy

Comment from OLA THOMAS
This is a deep philosophical poem and an eye opener to all the beauties of little things around us as 'richly' provided by mother nature. Haste has deprived the world from seeing and appreciating all these beauties, resulting in self destruction. I love this work.

Lovely Brooke, lovely sonnet. Very nice way to remind each of us to stop and smell the roses.
Like these lines much: For those inclined to hurry on their way...the beauty of our world is put to waste.
Best of luck in the contest. Jean

Comment from Trybuck
Most of us are in such a rush till we miss the beauty right before our eyes. I especially liked the last two lines. Great ending for a great poem. Well done, Buck

Comment from Glasstruth
Yes, it's time to stop and smell the roses. Such an old expression, but fits well with what you're saying. How we miss what's around us is a down right shame. Your first verse got me into this right away. A good intro is oh so important. A superb sonnet. Les
