Your poem describes the attributes of Brooke so succinctly. I love the images you conjured, the cadence and the flow. Well done. Yes, like you, I miss her amazing, tantalizing poems that bring so much joy to so many. My favorite stanza:

She spies falling stars through the trees
dreams of spinning sunshine to shawls
snowflakes drifting down with breeze
dandelion in the wilderness sprawls.

From the picture down through the verses we are treated to an in depth image of mother nature through the vision of a telescope but we must ask ourselves, is this the whole picture? I like our poet's final verse, best. -Ekim777

Excellent poem. I enjoyed reading your rhyming writing.

Brooke, you still have to unravel
more mysteries of this universe
take us with you as you travel
to gather pearls for your every verse.

I liked it, Sanku. I'm sure Brooke will, too.
I miss her so much. Sad how much I took her for granted. She was the perfect rhymer, the dead on rhythm master. God, I miss that girl! Every now and then I told her how outstanding her work was and how we tended to take her art for granted. She made it seem so easy, didn't she? Sigh! They better get her an internet connection. Brooke can't live without creating. Nice work, Sanku. She'll appreciate your lovely verses.

A lovely tribute to a friend. I'm sure if she has read this, it would have cheered her up greatly. I take it from the comment that you prefer free verse to rhyming, so I think you've done an outstanding job. Thank you for sharing.

This is another one of the inspired poems that will give Brooke inspiration to fight, which of course is what we know she will do. I recognised many of the images and you cobbled them together so carefully and lyrically, the verses are great to read. Good on you for joining in the solidarity of poets trying to send her love.

Hello Sanku,
In the light of Author Notes, it's a remarkable piece of poetry beautifully depicting its theme.
Wording is simple, impressive and perfectly matching the theme.
Smooth and enchanting flow throughout the poem with lovely rhyming scheme and lively imagery.
"She spies falling stars through the trees
dreams of spinning sunshine to shawls
snowflakes drifting down with breeze
dandelion in the wilderness sprawls."
Superb!
[When such heartfelt magical wishes are with her, I'm sure to see her soon amongst us. Amen!]

Absolutely marvellous photo that complements your poem perfectly. You must have studied her work quite a bit, as you mentioned so many things she wrote about. Your poem rhymes all the way.
