Brooke, it wasn't dearly impossible to be able to read your poem with that picture of Sawyer in a bunny suit. I chuckled and laughed so loud and showed it to my wife and we had a laugh together. Your poem is extremely written so well that is why you are number one. Your rhythm flow smoothly throughout your poem in your rhymes are neither forced, labored or strained. thank you so much for sharing and posting this for others and may you had the happiest of Easter Sundays.
Alex
PS: Keep on sending pictures of Sawyer eyeing choice seeing them and most of them make me laugh.

A great use of color words,and nature certainly provides a wide variety of colors. I loved your poem from beginning to end. "Minty green" is a great color!

Comment from Just Pete
A really clever use of colours and brilliant imagery. You applied each colour so perfectly, like a series af picture. I particularly like that "periwinkle sky". Something that I would never have thought of.

It is such that will always be part of his life. Even at such a young age he will remember. Well done Brooks. Sawyer is one lucky boy. My blessings to you both.

Comment from Leineco
OH! I really did not see that final line coming!! What a stellar close :-)
I loved the descriptions you employed ( especially as if it has a goal to reach the periwinkle sky. and as if her life exists to prettify and preen. :-)
What a charming Easter poem :-)

Comment from Phyllis Stewart
Perfect poem for the season and a wonderful idea to have him learn more than the basic colors. We women tend to know them, but men seldom get past the basic nine of Bk, W, Br, R, O, Y, G, B, and P. My hubby's always asking me what I mean when I say a color like teal or celadon.

Miranda taught Nora all the colors when she was Sawyer's age and figured there's no reason he shouldn't learn them too :-) He sounds so very cute when he says periwinkle LOL Thanks so much, Phyllis :-) Brooke
-
Just tell him not to let the other boys hear him say it. LOL!
-
LOL - at age 23 months boys don't know any different yet. He also still dresses up in the silly outfits Miranda buys for him. I've told her the day will come when she will have to hide a lot of the photos. :-)
-
LOL!
Is Nora his big sister, or was taht the girl Miranda babysat?
-
Nora is the little girl whom Miranda still is the nanny for. I was just enjoying photos of Nora and Sawyer enjoying today together - her dad is having a big 50th birthday party bash tonight, so Nora is having a sleepover at Miranda's. They have been together Nora's entire life and love each other utterly. Nora tells everyone that Sawyer is her little brother, and it's obvious that he loves her just as much as she loves him. Miranda took some great pictures of them sitting under a blanket together while watching Despicable Me - my heart just melted.
Comment from madhatter1977
This is fantastic! I don't know all of those colour words I must say. It's a great poem for Easter and child-like in its love of the flowers, nature, colour words and rhythm. Brill poem, Brooke and I hope all is good with you? Best wishes, Pete :)

Comment from nomi338
This is a beautiful poem. It is lyrical and conjures mental images of a beautiful garden rife with lovely flowers. I love the use of terms like: magenta rambler rose and come to congregate. Your skillful use of language makes your poetry some of the most enjoyable on this site. Keep up this most wonderful work.

Comment from ArtGal
Oh so cute, and very well written. Little Sawyer is certainly learning what will help him to understand, by a wonderful mom to teach him. It seems as if the Crayola colors constantly change, so hard to keep up with the names. Just love this poem, and had to stop by once again to post, and hope you will read. I love your prettify and preen wording in this. . .Sharon
