A very cute little story and poem. A great dedication to your friend. I hope she gets better soon. You're 2 characters speak well, in children's words. I am sure it is a poem little ones could read and enjoy and understand. You said you don't write poetry, but you did it well. Your story was a great introduction to your poem. Thank you for sharing.

Thank you, Karen. Your virtual six means a lot coming from an accomplished writer as yourself.
Always appreciated, John
Comment from Mastery
Excellent, John. I enjoyed this dedication very much. we all miss Brooke, of course.
""Dear God, my friend, Brooke, is sick. She'll be proud Lord because I used a comma for direct address.
Comfort her and ease her suffering. Bless her with Your loving care and be with her in her recovery from illness. Amen."
"Mango, that was beautiful."
Bravo! Bob

A very creative technique to show Brooke your concern and love. It is very well written with a smooth flow of words, making for a very good read.

First off, I join in the wishes and prayers of Mango and Bert for Brooke. Where is she now and how is she? I love Mango's poem too. Yes, I believe Brooke will love it. I see one little typo-They bow there(their) heads. I sympathize in their word exchange and is sad over Brooke's situation. I wish I can be a part of her wisdom too, helping writers like me and you. Thumbs up for this!

Comment from Pantygynt
The five stars are for the effort, for trying. I've reviewed worse poetry on this site and Ive only been here 3 months. Most dogs could do better than some of it. I knew a border collie who could write like Robert Burns. Nobody could understand either of them except for the Scots. Lovely tribute to a lovely lady.

Thank you. Other then the concluding sentence, your review has me puzzled, John

I was joking about the dogs little poem. It appears to have misfired. Sorry.

No problem. No offense taken.

This is delightful and I am sure Brooke will get a real kick out of it. Yes, nice work remembering to put the comma in for direct address...LOL

She nailed me to the wall, constantly with that comma crap. I still am able to get it wrong, now and then.
Thank you, Valarie, John
Comment from bayforesthimankush
This is a wonderful poem telling the true story of two real friends and expressing concern for illness of one of the friends. The poem really makes one smile when the two little friends talk to each other; it gives a feeling of true friendship.

Comment from jlsavell
Jmdg1954, this is so endearing! Absolutely, undeniably. I love the fact that authors of prose reach out of their comfort zone to honor this beautiful poetic talent and heart.
Interjecting a poem mingle within a poem is simply brilliant and to add with humor ' direct address' is genius.
Loved it. She will too, no doubt.

She nails me all the time with those comma-direct address mistakes.
She is wonderful.
Thank you for the great words. John

My prayers are going out for Brooke, too, and though I haven't known her as well as some of you, I can tell how important she has been to your lives. What touches one of us, touches us all. I pray for her speedy recovery!

And I would love for her to know she has my support, but as I don't know her as well as others of you writing poems for her, I don't want to come off as insincere. I do pray for her recovery, though.
