Well, I have another six left so you're getting it. I love the rhythm, the repetition and the momentum I agree that the photo's the perfect complement to the poem. Gorgeous.

I am not sure I have read a Quatem. If I have it was probably from you or Gungalo. At any rate, I enjoyed the poem immensely. The repeated first line throughout was very effective, and the 8 syllable lines kept the flow steady. Well done Brooke, :-) Carolyn

Pretty and well rhymed. A very strong image. However, the picture should, (I think), have a steady Oak that the wind never shook--a steady OAK that stood on its ground, to me, that could and would be more appropriate or meaningful. I say this because in your last paragraph, you mentioned of STRONG OAK that stayed steady, strong and still, but instead I saw the picture of tall lean stalks of plants flapping by the wind...This is but my view no meant to offend.

    Dom, thank you so much, my generous friend - of course I'm not offended by your picture suggestion even though I think mine is more appropriate to the breeze theme. :-) Brooke

I've come again to be amazed at Brooke's creative profligacy. Seriously, your poems seem to come with such incredible ease. You are such a joy to read.

Gosh, what a perfectly composed poem, Brooke. Your rhymes, enjambment, repetition, and alliteration all make this poem a delight to read and envision. I especially like the power and emotion in the last verse.
Smiles,
Karyn : )
