the way the grays keep popping up
to blur the whites and blacks.
This line sums up your poem best for me - right and wrong - good and bad - the older we get the more clear the definition - so many factors on each side.

What an amazing picture of Sawyer contemplating life!
Andy is a very good Photographer! Life will start getting confusing for Sawyer in the near future. Those shades of gray can be very disruptive and will need clarification!. Great poem Brooke with perfect rhyme and meter. Nancy

Nancy, thank you so much :-) Andy and Miranda are both very talented though she is the one more inclined to take family photos, so it's nice to see one by him :-) Brooke

Brooke;
I found that this piece of poetry is an excellent observation that speaks of the articulation of clarity and the sober moments of the mind.
I found your meter in tempo again to be just miraculously accomplished and you rhythm flowed smoothly throughout your poem while your rhyming was neither force nor labored throughout.
Thank you for sharing and posting this for everyone to read and may the Lord be with you especially in your time of need.

Comment from Louise Michelle
Okay, friend Brooke, I can do one more reading before I have to run out the door. If I'm interpreting this correctly, you're making a statement about people who are too arrogant to consider the points of view of others. Gotta run (doctor's apt) - can't elaborate. Hope I came close. Hugs, Lou

Thank you, Lou. That isn't exactly what I had in mind, but I always like to hear different interpretations of what I've written. I had in mind the fact that very little in this world is black and white even though many people hate to acknowledge that.

That's what I was trying to say. The older I get, the more my brain freezes and I don't articulate as well. I know we're about the same age, but I've really slowed down this past year, both physically and mentally. (I'm 64)

I forgot to mention I just recently started taking low dose estrogen which, hopefully, will help.
Comment from Bryana
Lovely poem to read first thing in the morning.
Of course I live in the Pacific Northwest.
I love the poem and the picture as well, I think
Sawyer is also thinking about it very seriously.
Your poems always bring me a beautiful feeling
dear Brooke.
Have a wonderful day.

Comment from J. Dark
I really enjoyed this contemplative and entertaining piece. It is absolutely gorgeous and works so well with the photograph. I particularly liked the references to grays and blurring of white and blacks. Such an intelligent observation on thought. So sorry I am out of sixes for this one.
Kindest of regards,
Julie :-) x

You know Brooke, one of the things that I really appreciate about your writing is that it is always clear. It always makes sense. Some writers try to appear deep and only succeed in appearing confused. Writing a bunch of phrases that are contradictory or rhymes without making any kind of coherent statement is not deep writing. I recently read a poem that made no sense. The words did rhyme, but the poem was ridiculous, it did not say anything. Thanks for being consistently one of the best writers I have ever had the pleasure of reading.

nomi, thank you so much for your thoughtful response to this poem. I agree that poems that don't make sense to the reader involve a failure to communicate. I realize some readers are dense, but writers can also be way too obscure. Brooke :-)
