Hi Brooke, I enjoyed reading your poem, about the simplicity and the beauty of nature. Nice photo of Sawyer with Mom and Dad.
Extraordinary is my world,
where on the grass the dew is pearled
and dawn makes petals come unfurled --
extraordinary is my world.
a lovely stanza, Well written

Comment from Selina Stambi
Life is what one makes of it, isn't it? Every day can be an extraordinary day if one chooses to see it like that.
I love the picture of the family outing and the lovely, thoughtful rhyming verse it has spawned.

Comment from Sarah Butterfly
This poem is an enjoyable read Brooke.
I especially like the wording:
"What's ordinary in the moon,
who makes waves dance without a tune?"
Solid rhyme used to enhance the flow.
Very nice writing!
Kind regards
Sarah

Loved the thoughts in your Author's notes, Brooke and I so agree. With smiles like that on a little train it is so special. Sawyer is growing in leaps and bounds. I enjoyed your thoughts so much, my friend. Blessings

You are so right, Brooke, I have never thought of it that way before. Worms are needed, the grass does make a fine carpet, your author notes and your poem have made me stop and think. It is a brilliant poem to add to the collection for Sawyer. xsx sandra :)

What can I say, your poetry is flawless. You are truly a gifted writer with phenomenal instinct. Wouldn't it be wonderful to have all of us appreciate nature the way you do.

Comment from Leineco
It's nice to be reminded of all I have forgotten.
How in my childhood,
ordinary was a slowly growing concept.
Everything was "fascinating"
or unique
in the very fact of its existence.
No wonder children
are so fond of asking
"Why?". . .
they haven't mastered the concept
of ordinary, yet!
Very nice write :-)

A happy family celebrating the beauty of the ordinary, in every and any day. I have been thinking of ordinary things and the beauty and simplicity of it. What explanation might apply?

Comment from Adri7enne
It's all a brand new world for Sawyer. It's a lot to take in for a little boy. He's being exposed to a wide variety of sights and experiences. Most kids have one or two of those through a childhood. Sawyer is a lucky little boy.
Lovely images and great rhyming. I liked the way each stanza had the same end rhyme. Well done, Brooke.

Thank you so much, Adrienne :-) I love that Sawyer's mommy takes him to exciting places like Disney and the zoo and the aquarium but also takes him on daily walks in the neighborhood to marvel at worms and bugs and wildflowers :-) Brooke
