Your poetry always strikes a chord with me and this one is no different and I don't even like poetry all that much, but I do enjoy yours. It is always so clear and vivid with life in the words you use to represent the feelings you are conveying. I'm really glad I logged in today its been a while.

This piece instantly put this song in my head. I had to listen to it right away once I read this piece. I love the picture as well. Really great job as usual, Brooke, thanks for sharing.

Great use of the green grass as a symbol of happiness and well-being.
The poem flows nicely and there is an interesting use of the personal pronouns to give it that slightly unexpected ending.

Comment from Righteous Riter
Good use of the aabb rhyme scheme. Good end rhyming. Good perfect rhyming with be/me...me/we. Good alliteration with grass/grows/greener...we/watch/world...where/we. Good rhythm and flow. I see nothing that I would add, change or take out of this piece. Good work.

Loving friendships I know they will keep & even though not true siblings, Nora & Sawyer still seem to have a special caring bond, similar to a little brother & big sister & share a closeness that will bring fond memories. Thanks for letting us know, by your rhyming poem, The Grass Grows Greener.

A great underlying lesson to learn for all of us. Is this the answer to all of our woes? Well... yes it is as a matter of fact. Love the smoothness of this. It just flows so peacefully and that enhances the words perfectly. Well done. mikey
