You should set this to music. Very sweet. (Pun intended.) Terrible thing to get an infant hooked on sugar. LOL. Perfect meter and a great poem. Best. Ray.

You sound like my daughter the nanny, Ray - she is all about having babies eat peas first, bananas and apricots later, lest they develop a taste for sweets that can't be broken :-)
Thank you for your lovely review and good morning! Brooke
Comment from Belinda
For a change... a sweet lullaby by adewpearl. And as the baby is lulled to sleep, I get to know many flowers' names. They do have cute names suitable to create a poem from. Thanks for sharing the love you have for babies and nature, Brooke! (Wonder how pinwheels look like?)-- I like your term poetic licence. it allows us to make innocent mistakes, right?)

Belinda, good morning and thank you :-) I love their cute names. I tend to think of poetic license more as making deliberate choices rather than mistakes. Thanks, my friend. Brooke :-)
Comment from Aussie
Boy, you sure did your homework on this poem; I thought it was well researched except for 'blue clouds of rain?' Didn't quite get that one; Apart from having made mention of that, your poem was sweet, lilting and cuddly just like you. Well done.

Kay, thank you :-) I would have said black clouds or dark clouds except the flower name is blue clouds and it seemed appropriate since I associate blue with feeling sad or blue. Sorry that one didn't come across as I intended :-) Brooke
-
Hello Brooke, It didn't come across because I didn't understand the name. Probably the artist within me was questioning. Blessings, Kay.
It is 11c here - a heatwave in UK!

OH, I am so horrible with centigrade - what does 11 mean in fahrenheit? This is one of those things I learned back in school way too many years ago to remember. LOL
-
Sorry, I generally tell you in farenheit; 13F is our current temp. In other words - freezing and Toby dog thinks so too!

This is a sweet little poem, I thought the addition of the flowers names were really good. A lot of thought had to go into this poem. Excellent.

I enjoyed reading one of the sweetest flower poems yet. Love the midnight candy reference. Wish there was such a wonderful thing. Very nice lullaby and photo.

Well done, Brooke. I enjoyed this one. I think it has a very soothing feel to it. THe shouds of the words were soothing to me at least. Good message to tell a little one. Can't think of anything to add. - sam

Hey, Brooke, there's a bouquet in your lullaby! lol Thanks for the italics. I recognized only three of the ten flower names. As usual, your poem is entertaining and educational, a joy to open and read. Mary

Thank you, Mary - many of these flowers are brand new to me also through internet research. I always make sure I find a site with a picture to make sure they are actual flowers and not just from someone's imagination! LOL Brooke
Comment from Jazh
I liked this as much as I liked your other clever poem of flower names. I had no idea there were so many. The poem flows smoothly, with comfortable rhymes, despite the restrictions. A lovely lullaby. :)

Awww... what a cute lullabye. This is very sweet. I like it. It is a perfect lullabye. Reminds me of the "Hush, little baby, don't you cry" lullabye. A pleasure to read. Don't bother looking for one of mine to review. There aren't any. :)

Well what can I say, as usual you write a wonderful, emotional poem, and I see grandchildren in the picture as well as the beauty of flowers, I have a picture like this of my grandson, the colors would be blue, but this is wonderufl, thank you for sharing.
