Wow. This form is another of my very favorites, and the way you have used it here gave me chills (of pleasure - not cold - LOL). Seriously, Brooke, talk about evoking imagery! Serene and beautiful, my friend. Of course six-worthy, if I had any - magnificent!

Wow, Brooke,

This is another stunner. Love the way made this like a personal journey. You make the reader feel the emotion through the breeze and the oak.

Extraordinary work - an no sixers left! Grrrr.

Cheers & Blessings

I love how you weaved this line: 'a breeze swept through and brushed my skin.' through your poem. The poem was as gentle as a breeze with it's rhythm. I enjoyed reading.

I loved the imagery here Brooke. The mighty oak stood tall, undaunted by the force of the wind, which, to the oak was but a gentle breeze. I could see the grasses dancing in the wind. Lovely, just lovely. Nancy

Watching that gentle refrain descend along each stanza brought the reader into the delight of that very breeze that danced it along this touching quatrain. Excellent.

Wonderfully written poem. I like the line to partner with leaves in dance. Wonderful imagery with your use of descriptive words. I like your rhyme scheme.

This deserves a six star which I thought I might have this morning. I guess it is Sunday morning instead You know me, I love the repeated lines. But your poem is so professional to me. The line - a breeze swept through and brushed my skin is so special. I think that line will stay with me for a while. Simply lovely.

I almost didn't recognize your post without a picture of Sawyer provided as the artwork. This is a very visual piece. One can feel the breeze and hear its effects on the leaves and reeds. The images presented are strong.

Gerald, thanks so much :-) I appreciate your generous sixth star. You have to look at the old section of my portfolio for the three plus years before Sawyer was born. LOL Brooke

We should learn from nature's free and great lessons how we should act and react. Yet, some are reluctant to do so, thinking that the reason we are the top of the chain species is enough. But it isn't, is it?
