This some good advice in poetical form. This is a beautiful sonnet. Once again you have given me cause to pause and take in the finer things of life. Have you published your work? I would like to read more.

The world through a child's eyes can teach many a person a thing or two, especially in the realms of Nature. Lovely choice of rhyming and words to convey your sweet message. Enjoyable read and sweet pic. Faye

I love your poem. It teaches us to be more aware of this wonderous world. To have the soul of a child and absorb everything happening around us. Truly a lesson to be learned.

Comment from Mike K2
I am so glad at my age to still be able to find little treasures in the world and really, it isn't a matter of slowing yourself down, but in keeping your senses and mind active.
Nicely written, presenting a concept that more people need to seek out.

Dear Brooke,
A sonnet, properly written, is a Thing of real beauty and this is no exception. I am minded of Sam Snead the golfer, saying "take time out to smell the flowers". What that Has to do with golf, except possibly to instil a sense of calm, I know not.
Regards
Reg

Comment from Adri7enne
Ah, to see the world through a child's eyes! As adults, we've got it all categorized so we don't really see it anymore. "May He who made the violets an dew, awake my eyes to all I'm passing through." Indeed! Well said, Brooke.
Good luck in the contest.

Comment from Domino 2
Blimey - that tree house looks far better constructed and more comfy than my humble studio flat, Brooke. :-)
Excellent theme of how we're often too busy rushing around, to appreciate the simplest and most fascinating things in nature.
I must admit my old 'peepers' aren't good enough to spot a single grain of sand, but you've persuaded me to take some binoculars with me the next time I visit the beach. :-)
TOP sonnet theme, rhyme and meter.
Cheers, Ray

Thanks so much, Ray. As for the tree house - Nora's dad and the father of the little friends who own the tree house are the co-writers and executive producers of hits like Will and Grace - they have money oozing out of their pores. LOL :-) Brooke

I HATE them. :-) xx
Comment from Kenneth Schaal
Excellent sonnet (English) form. The meter is tight, the rhymes, true, and good enjambment within the stanzas. Some alliteration (souls/slow--sand/sparkles/sea). Some consonance (Rainbow/shaRd/bRoken), and assonance of O and U. Any soul loving the dandelion need not be concerned. Good luck. Kenny
