Comment from Janet Foor
I really like the octogram form Brooke. It's lyrical and fun to read aloud. What a joy to see Sawyer's expressions. Some are full of wonder at a new sight, some puzzling or curious and some just the sweet innocence of childhood.
Blessings

Comment from Sandra Stoner-Mitchell
I like this style, Brooke, it is very lyrical, and what a jaunty poem you have put to it. It's a lovely read, but I feel sorry for the poor buzzing bee, no escape for him! I love Sawyers expression, it looks really puzzled, as if he is not sure about what he is being told, or seeing. LOL :)

Yep, you have to feel sorry for the poor bee, but then you have to remember that the spider and her kids need to eat too :-) I had chicken for lunch today - I can't go getting myself too upset about that chicken. LOL Thanks so much, Sandra :-) Brooke

It's the same with lamb. I would NEVER eat a real lamb, I only eat the ones that are grown in the freezer!!! LOL.

Oh Sawyer is back. Missed this little cute face. What a gift, for both of you. Not really into writing about my 17 year old. He would barf. LOL.

Hi Brooke,
Excellent octogram, the wonders of nature are incredible for a small child - and for any adult who manages to retain the curiosity of childhood into adulthood.

octets, syllabic counts, iambic meter you covered the whole gamut here Brooke. In the rhyme scheme explanation, why is there capitol B's and small b's. your authors notes are one big tutorial its easy to see your grammarian background come out here lol, I hope sawyer grows up to have an interest in bloody poetry otherwise he'll be stuffed lol xxx
nice read as usual...and very anally correct as well.. nothing worse than having your syllabic count out hey? lol

in the alphabetical notation, the capital B lines are repeated lines, so for instance, the notation for a triolet is ABaAabAB, which means that in that form, lines 1 4 and 7 are identical and lines 2 and 8 are identical
You're right - the syllable count and the meter are very important to this form in order to give it its very distinctive cadence when read aloud. This is one of my favorite forms because of the cadence it produces :-)
Of course Sawyer will have an interest in bloody poetry - it's in his blood. LOL :-) Brooke
-
he won't have a bloody choice!! lol that's more the point you will be like one of those tennis players or swimmers mothers but a grandmother11 lol
he will be all 'poeted' out before he reaches puberty!! lol

If you knew me, you would know that isn't actually true - not at all how I raised my kids - I am very much into kids following their own bliss, which doesn't mean I didn't share my interests and opinions with them, but I never expected them or required of them to pattern their lives on mine :-)

Sawyer really looks as if he is appalled. You met all the requirements for the Octogram: the bee caught in the spiders web.

Young man Sawyer is sure a handsome little fellow! Love that you are able to use his pictures for your fantastic poems about his discovery of new things! I liked how the spider was weaving a shawl. Very clever!
