adewpearl,

Short, sweet and clean. Flowing very nicely. Your formatting was terrific! How could anybody not like this? The picture is wonderful. It complements your words and thoughts.

It is perfectly written and completely error free.

I look forward to seeing you again.

Love you,

Oatmeal

Hi, Brooke.
So cute. That is another thing little boys are made of.
So sweet and to the point.

Your beautiful grandson sure is getting "up there."

Great little diddy.
Have a good evening.

You nail it every time - you thrill, you enchant ... and it's all Sawyer's fault, Brooke!

Superman is cute, isn't he?! My daughter was in love with him for years - she has her own real life cutie, now!

Love,

Sonali

    Thank you so much for the stars, Leineco, and for the vote of agreement :-) I know quite a few grown adults still waiting for a superhero to show up. Brooke

This is an excellent little work! It's very innocent and childlike due to the hero reference and picture, but it's very relatable and sends a great message to anyone. It's great and inspirational!

I am so glad that I am stingy about these LOL because this is poetic art at its best. Pure simplicity expressing profound truth. Nicely done and I thank you so much for sharing this with me.

Hi Brooke,
your ability to create a poem from a pic is now become legendary... and on most occasions there's that little extra in the way of a little piece of wisdom, a moral or something else that rings of special refrain... but this one reminds me... the slow, steady and measured, will get to their destination... yeah, one rung at a time.

Beautiful work friend.

With our thoughts we create,
small steps to a large destiny,
James xx

Holy smokes, woman, you are SO generous to your reviewers!!! I WISH I could afford the time to build up my work like this - sigh...

This is so witty, I don't even now what else to say - it can apply to so many walks of life! Just Super (get it - LOL)- nah, the word popped into my head and then I HAD to use it, but it IS a fabulous (super) poem. Gosh, I love your poetry!

What a delightful aphorism, Brooke. I don't often dish out six stars for such short poems but this one is a classic; pithy and to the point. Although Sawyer is your struggling hero in this case, it is advice that would sit well with many adults of my acquaintance.

This is an excellent, straight to the point poem that let's one know, in no uncertain terms that one must work to get what they want. No Superheroes are coming to save them. A great lesson in life to learn quickly! The picture is an excellent illustration of the point using a visual showing a boy climbing. A very effective combo!
