This is really an ultimate tribute to the talent and felt presence of a dear Fanstorian poet like Brooke. Brooke is famous for her counting rhymes and your version dedicated to Brooke is best the compliment ever for her. I enjoyed reading too this poem. God bless.

Thank you, nassus, that's very thoughtful of you to say, my friend. I thought worked n this one for several days trying to get it just right for Brooke. I thought I'd submitted it to the book dedicated to her. But once I posted it, the reference to the book chapter I was adding it to was no longer there. Anyhow...
...thanks again fro your kind words and the six stars. I am very grateful that you enjoyed this, and I sure hope that Brooke will too. ~Dean

Hi Dean, what a wonderful and heartwarming tribute to our own lovely Brooke, I am sure she will appreciate it as much as we do my friend, written in her own 'Ten series' style it has a great flow and rhythm, just as she would like.

Hi, Dean...

- This is an absolutely lovely dedication to Brooke.
- She certainly has far-outreaching affect on us all.
- You outdid yourself on this one, my friend.
- I hope they can get her in remission or at least control the pain.

Cheers & Blessings
Keep Smilin'... Jax (*:*)

Thank you, Jax, and so do I. I hate what's happened to her, as I'm sure we all do. She's such a kind and thoughtful human being, and quite a wonderful poet as well. Thanks again for reading. ~Dean

Beautiful poem and tribute to your friend Brooke. As always, your format is superb. I teaching myself to insert pictures in text, someone thought you had been teaching me. :) You have a good reputation.

Ha-ha, well, opinions vary in the respect, Gypsy. There are some who absolutely refuse to read my work simply because I will not kowtow to their ways of thinking. That's fine, to each their own. I believe in treating people as I would want to be treated. I think when we do that, we can't go wrong.
Thanks for your wonderful comments concerning my humble dedication to Brooke. I miss her dearly, and I hope she recovers and returns to us soon.
With appreciation...~Dean :)

Dean: a splendid and moving, gracious and magnificently starched and perfectly presented brilliant white napkin of respect and greeting at the table of honor, love and respect. You never cease to amaze me with your endless "will*speak" ! I do so admire and respect the power of your mind and words! Vance

Thank you, Vance, that's very kind of you to say, my friend. I thought about this one long and hard because I wanted it to be as perfect as I could make it, yet still retain some of my own style. I hope I've succeeded, and that Brooke will be pleased with the results. I really do miss her a lot!
Thanks again, my friend. ~Dean
