Late Bloomer;
-your picture is truly outstanding and what a choice that is particularly relative and so complementary to your poem as it shines with love and hope.
-You're free verse poem is written so beautifully and what a laudation in tribute to a wonderful person, a great poet, a wonderful mother, a grandmother and a friend to all, and lest me not forget a great teacher.
-Very good use of enjambment.
-Your lines are vividly descriptive and demonstratively and exquisitely expressive in their imagery.
-I enjoyed your writing very much, and it expresses my own feelings for Brooke.
-Thank you for sharing and posting and may the good Lord also be with you.
Alex

What a beautiful art work you've chose for this wonderful tribute to Brooke. I loved the poem and I'm sure Brooke would be so please at its wonderful words. Great job.

Is this our Brooke on Fanstory? Is she ill? I am sending prayers for her. I hope that she will be back on Fanstory soon writing her amazing poems again.
