Another lovely poem for Brooke. She must get better, she has so many people on here rooting for her. This was lovely and I know Brooke will love it too. :) Sandra

Wish I had more six star ratings left. This is a lovely message to Brooke. Love your free verse poem and the picture of blowing dandelion seeds in the wind. My six year old grandson loves blowing dandelion seeds :). Lovely author notes. You made me cry and smile and feel like Brooke was with us still.

"Aloha" Karen - how beautifully expressed. I particularly appreciated your author notes. I think 'empowering' is a wonderful word to describe Brooke. Thank you!

Beautiful Karen!
It's lovely... The artwork is perfect
and I know just what you mean about feeling as if you could put another step forward to put your face to the sun with your poetry!
Well done... Brooke will LOVE it!

(I love this part)
'to face this struggle
and fill your mind
with a million
more rhymes
about dandelions
and all kinds'

well done!
Cat

Karen, you've presented such a remarkable tribute to our Brooke.

We can only pray she gains control over this horrible thing and returns to us soon. She is one of FanStory's great landmarks.

This is absolutely lovely and I know Brooke will feel the same way. She is not only a marvelous poet, but her patients to review so many posts is beyond amazing. I miss her dearly and pray she returns to us soon and feeling better too.

This is a great poem that is on target. It seems to embrace the dandelion theme that's going around and I know that that will be well received. Cool stuff.
