Sheesh, I sure do love this side of you (LOL), but that's because I am a horror buff. Hurray for October - Brooke does horror so well. This is so creepy, I won't even think about going out tonight! (LOL) Seriously incredible, though - a fabulous poem - what a great idea, too! (Of course, you know I have no %^%$@!! sixes.)

EXCEPTIONAL (as usual)!*****************!!!!!

this is an excellent write, brooke, you did an excellent job writing this poem about the one who was spared from death because they were too scared to run from their fears. I enjoyed reading it.

Geez, girl, who polluted your Wheaties? Sounds like the stuff I attempt at times. Difference being that I attempt and you execute.

Hi Brooke,

This is a really nice story poem. I'm surprised you didn't put it in the contest. When is Sawyer going to wear his other costume? I always enjoy reading your work, especially about him. He's so cute!

My goodness, aren't we in an uplifting mood today? Marvelous poem with superb rhythm and rhyme and perfect for this delightful time of year. I'd give you a 6 but, alas, I am out. Definitely not for kids...this would give the poor things nightmares.

Thanks so much, Valerie - yep, I'm little Miss Sunshine :-) and no, this is NOT one I want Miranda to read to Sawyer or even Nora :-) Brooke

Exceptional

Brooke, you've outdone even yourself this time.
Such a strong tale of mass hysteria
and the lemming syndrome.
And you do it in flawless meter and rhyme, too.
This time of year, it's so right to remind us that
our fears are so often self-perpetuated.
This one's special, Brooke.
Glad I had a six. Wish I had a nine.
I reserve tens for girls who put out. Sue me.

Peace, Lee
