The work and the picture and note are not as well matched
as usual. Bright, heartwarming stuff-and then the poem is a
sober little fellow. None of this has to do with the quality of the writing: excellent.

Brooke,
Fabulous rhyming quatrains that highlight the blessings of companionship. The flow and cadence are so compatible that it is very easy to read, and read aloud.
As wonderful as this is, I have to say your shared expression in the author's notes deserve a six as well. What a sweet moment. That is a picture of true love!
Jenny

"Solitude was made for one --
love was made for two"

I love it!
This is a sweet and heart-warming poem.

And I love your author notes! Sawyer is such an adorable little boy!

Great job as always

Dear Brooke,
Charmingly philosophical

Solitude is what remains,
when love is left behind.

Those little beggars can really tug at the heart strings, can't they. My wife and I are still waiting for a great grand child, but so far, our worthless grandsons have refused to cooperate.

Regards
Reg

Aw, solitude is a sorry state to be in. Good for Sawyer that he cuddles up with Mommy to watch the movie. So much nicer to do things in two. I loved this little poem. It gives a brilliant lesson. Well penned. luv jada

Wow! Wow! Wow! I love how you portrayed love vs. solitude with their opposing natures. Solitude is a lack of love - quite clearly illustrated through this poem. The rhyme is not boring at all and the use of opposites is a nice new way to write this poem. Cleverly done! Beautiful!

This is a wonderful homely poem Brooke, it has a great flow thanks partly to the great rhyming,you are so right about loneliness being the only thing left when love is leftv behind.

Good poem with a good picture to tell of solitude. Good word flow and rhyming as you relate how solitude and love are very different.

This is just how I feel sometimes. Your words and echoing work beautifully together. You are such a gifted writer. I think I like the ideas you build on best...The repetition of solitude was a solid choice.
