This a great poem on the possibilities of love. I am taken back to the days when as a young man I searched so desperately for love. In hope I pined for love often blind to the real possibility of love. Happily, I found love in the asking. Excuse my ramblings. Again, you got to the heart of the matter.

What a wonderful picture, immortalizing Sawyer's first love interest. The rhymes are creative and the rhythm is dead on. A fun work, Brooke.

Very sweet poem of love and youth. I like the possibilities. If we spend time with someone, love can blossom. I like your hope for tomorrow line. So sweet, momma and grand momma raised Sawyer right.

I'm almost always awake by 6:30. I'm spending some time here before I leave for church in an hour :-)

You captured a survival requirement in these well written quatrains, Brooke, and tempered it with aplomb, and good manners. Kenny

I almost missed the best person entering my life because of inattention. Your poem resonated with me. Thanks for posting.

Hi, Brooke.

I guess incorrect grammar, as in 3rd line, is intentional to echo Sawyer's vocabulary in a fun way.

I must be honest and say this is not one my faves of yours, but it's still well above the average posted here.

I can't put my finger on the flow, as the meter seems correct, but I did falter on a couple of lines. Maybe that's just me, having just got up this morning. :-)

Happy Sunday, my friend, Ray. xx

Thanks for reviewing, Ray - it is not supposed to be in Sawyer's voice or vocabulary - as in many of his poems, while his photo inspires a thought, the poem is not supposed to be written by him and is often not even about him. Where is the grammar off? Brooke

reply by Domino 2 on 10-Aug-2014

Sory about that, Brooke.

I meant in the 3rd line, but now I read it again, I was mistaken.

Mind you, I have to have a vengeful further dig, LMAO, in the repetition of 'possibility' as a rhyme...though I'm sure it's intentional. :-)

Ray xx

reply by the author on 10-Aug-2014

yes, I intended to use the word, and even to use it twice :-) Hope you're having a lovely Sunday, my friend :-)

reply by Domino 2 on 10-Aug-2014

Hahaha! You're such a modest cutie, Brookers. xx

reply by the author on 10-Aug-2014

Call me a cutie again, and I may have to kiss you :-)

reply by Domino 2 on 10-Aug-2014

LOL, Brookers. You're a star - and I don't mean to avoid your lovely suggestion!

Here's TWO BIG virtual kisses from across the pond - XX

Hey. The days of innocence, when love was possible, when it walked like an angel. Ah, but, the message--live and love now, be open.
I like the rhyme pattern in this

Carpe diem - Grab the girl?

Sweetly rhyming quatrains centred around this little gem of wisdom:
in love's possibility
lies hope for each tomorrow

and sorrow's such a needless way
to waste away life's passing --
especially when love will thrive
for those who do the asking.

Hi Brooke, why that sad poem, the picture of his majesty Sawyer, is looking at a beautiful young girl. You allow your readers to read your poems, and discover the smooth writing, in whatever title you write, and especially Sawyer is the master in all your poems. Great Brooke, as usual. Love Terry xoxo
