Another winner! You are so able to put this picture in my head, I think of my grandfather settled down to read the sports page before the three of us ran upstairs to jump on him with affection, newspaper flying! Thank you for sharing.

A bit of whimsy that deserves accolades
and of course six stars.
Madam, you had me smiling all the
way down the screen, first with
that superb picture of Sawyer
that just amplifies your beautiful
artistic poetry that encompasses
your love for this child.
Well done

That is so sweet, Brooke, I love reading these poems, Horatio, LOL, he certainly doesn't look like a Horatio there, it looks like he really was taken by surprise! LOL Nanny caught this little gem perfectly. Love the words in your poem, it really put a smile on my face. xsx Sandra

For often we will find ourselves
in other people's hands,
and they, my friend, might just have made
a different set of plans. Great lines in the real world we often place yourself in the hands of others

Hi Brooke,
Life often throws us what in England is called a 'googly' and what you call a 'curve ball'. Horatio, poor Horatio, his plans disrupted by a kiss.
Lovely little bit of fun to read.

This is such a sweet and cute poem and I love the picture of the always adorable Sawyer! He looks more than surprised in this picture, lol! I realized along time ago, every time I make plans, it never goes the way I plan :)
Great job

Thank you for reminding us about the value of spontaneity. (The only thing I might change is "people's" to "persons'". Chloe and Sawyer are fun role models and your rhymes and rhythms are divine. A "well-planned" poem plus lesson and here's another hug to go with it- Joan

That adorable boyo has another dedicated photographer. Good thing he likes to pose and is so photogenic! Your poem is enjoyable and I bet Horatio will love lose ladies interrupting his day more and more. Like your humor, Brooke.
Smiles,
Karyn : )

Karyn, thanks so much :-) He is not as cooperative as often as he used to be - I'm hoping that he doesn't start to rebel more :-) Brooke

Good use of the abcb rhyme scheme. Good end rhyming. Good perfect rhyming with miss/kiss...say/way. Good description the alliteration. Good rhythm and flow. Good complimentary photo followed by a clear message.

The best laid plans of mice and men are meant to be disrupted. And really, when they are (hopefully by something good) is when life's most memorable moments happen.
