It is many times necessary to leap over the obstacles in our lives (and in gym class). The poem is great and the action picture adds to the story wonderfully.

Hello Brooke,
Thought provoking lovely piece of poetry in the form a rhyming epigram!
It beautifully conveys a practical message worth following to succeed in life.
Wording is simple as well as impressive.
Smooth and musical flow motivating the readers to learn the poem by heart.
Excellent!

Nicely done. But I can't help wondering what you're going to do for inspiration when this little guy is all grown up.
This is well written and presented with a thought provoking theme.

Gerald, thank you so much for your generous review. I have four years worth of posts from before Sawyer was born, so I will just go back to the inspirations I had then should he ever stop being a source of inspiration. LOL :-) Brooke
Comment from CHIGYSISKI
Lovely poem. Profound. Speaks to me as I have just been posted to a unit that means I spend five hours on the road to and from work. I thought or quitting and then decided to take a leap and hope it won't be for long. Thanks for sharing.

A true epigram as advertised, brief and witty and solidly rhymed. The colorful visual effectively exemplifies the intended message.
Nice work!

Comment from Shirley E Kennedy
I think that's called a leap of faith. LOL.
Well done Sawyer.
A perfect truism and such great advice.
Sometimes there is no way forward without taking that leap over obstacles in the path.

Your epigram is entertaing, Brooke, and sure has a message to help with life's troubles. I sure would love to leap if I could. Lol how is young Sawyer doing in school, since his first day?
Smiles,
Karyn : )

Thanks so much, Karyn. He still is not happy to get there, but he holds back the crying very stoically - little quiver lips and eyes welling up - He whispers to his mom, please go, so he won't cry in front of her. The teachers say he makes a quicker recovery now and has a great time most of the day. By the time she picks him up 4 hours later he can't wait for her to take him to the school's potty, which he refuses to use with the teachers, but he hasn't had a single accident, God bless him :-) Brooke
-
Awwww what a trooper to tell his mom to go. I get the image that he is smarter than his teachers :-)
-
Don't say that!!! I have a son who was smarter than many of his teachers, which never worked out well. The boy was in the gifted program when he dropped out of high school as a junior. Very long story. It all worked out. He got his GED after a couple years break and then graduated summa cum laude from college and just passed the bar a week ago, but take it from me, the parent of a brilliant kid, they are every bit as difficult as "slow" learners. :-)
-
Oh, I'm sure the challenge of having a genius would be so difficult to keep their interest. You must be proud of your son's accomplishments.

proud and relieved LOL

Comment from Tomes Johnston
This is yet another interesting poem that the author has created with this piece of work. There are obstacles in life, but there is always a way around them. We just need to find these ways out.

Comment from Louise Michelle
Hi Brooke,
I love the word 'Leap.' It expresses the best way for us to combat obstacles and fear. I'm thinking in terms of people freezing up from fear and turning away from challenges in life. I've always used the word 'plunge' as in plunge right into whatever it is you don't want to do.
Hugs,
Lou

Although it was Sawyer's active role in his situation that led to your thought provoking poem, it is also a good lesson to follow through life. Let no obstacle keep you confined, move forward to succeed.
Nicely done, Brooke.
