-A beautiful photo to go with your beautiful poem.
-I have been on FS a much shorter time than Brooke, but felt I got to know her, but certainly not in the beautiful detail you use in this poem.
-My favorite parts are about the eagle with the book, the fairy, and the heartfelt conclusion.
-All of your references in the poem to her, her family, what she writes about, and how she writes it are inspiring.

I'm sorry it has taken this long to tell you how much I appreciate your kind words about this poem for Brooke, and to tell you again how glad I am to know what parts of the poem you liked especially. I really appreciate the exceptional rating you gave this. I hope Brooke enjoys it too, and is soon able to return to us. MM

This is a lovely get-well message. The rhyme seems effortlessly done, and the flow is lovely. "Pearls of dew" is excellent reference to her name. A lovely image of how the book was carried by the eagle. Glad you referred to Sawyer and Miranda. She was so proud of them. Sawyer provided the inspiration for many poems, apparently. Beautiful work, and I hope our get-well wishes will provide encouragement for Brooke. Congratulations on winning the Acrostic Contest. judi

I like the reference to her in 'pearls of dew'. Good alliteration in glistening/gleam. You also reference many of her favorites including her beloved Miranda and Sawyer. This is a sweet and beautiful tribute to Brooke.

Comment from Ginnygray
This is beautiful, MissMerri! I really enjoyed the simile "a glistening gleam of sunlight, reminding my heart of you." What a lovely tribute and love for a dear friend! Shining love for grands in her very poems is touching! The very idea of a bald eagle taking a book to Brooke is a very creative idea by the poet! Also, the metaphor of a swift running brook! Excellent poet, and excellent poem!!

This is a well written tribute to Brooke. She is missed and Sawyer as well. I only hope for her speedy recovery for I know she loved sharing her dandelions and children. My blessings to you.

-The picture of the book that you've chosen for your poem is so much like the book that I used to fish in back east. It also is very relative and complementary to your poem.
-Good use of enjambment
-your imagery is definitively expressive and demonstratively and vividly descriptive throughout your writing. I specially gave interest attention to the Eagle carrying a book. It is a magical twist to the poem.
-Use of rhyming was very diligent and each rhyming word was contingent to the meaning and concept of each line therefore making your rhythm flow smoothly.
-Your rhythm was iambic pentameter, followed by seven syllables per line, which was also iambic. The cadence, tempo and timing also were very helpful in making the reading clear, fluid and easy.
-What a lovely tribute and laudation to our favorite friend Brooke Baldwin and definitely will uplift your spirits. Throughout the poem. I was thinking how inspirational and enlightening this poem really is and how nicely written. You captured the essence of friendship and love.
-Thank you for sharing and posting this and may the good Lord be with you always my friend.
