What a great attitude. Wish society would have the drive, zeal to find solutions for our problems as the character you write about, assuming it's Sawyer. Nice flow and a wonderful message. Les

This is yet another beautiful and interesting poem that the author has created with this piece of writing. Sawyer is at the heart of things once again and this is very nice for him to be the muse for your poetry. He will realise some day and it will be a great thing indeed.

I do enjoy reading your swap poetry, Brooke. Your quatrains contain a strong positive attitude with inspiring words. As alwYs, your rhymes and enjambment are wonderful.

Hi Brooke, very masterful write. I like how you invert the first line of each quatrain in the final line of the quatrain. It makes sense and gives the whole poem a subtle feeling of repetition. I've never heard of a swapped quatrain poem. Very clever. As always, good use of iambic meter and pure sounding rhymes for an adorable children's poem--and the lesson on perseverance and attitude is a good one.

Gail, thanks so much, my friend. I had never heard of it before either until Warren Rogers posted one several days ago - he found the form on shadowpoetry.com. Brooke :-)

Another strong poem about perseverance and a-t-t-i-t-u-d-e.
Other than your post yesterday, I haven't seen a swap quatrain since September of last year. They look like a lot of fun - but working the rhymes in to fit the swaps would no doubt be a challenge. You make it look easy.
A great poem in Sawyer's voice. He's going to make a great leader one day.

Written undoubtedly with the theme of self-reliance and initiative.
The mood is light and this piece sends the message that when confronted with a situation where the result is not satisfactory, other options should be considered.
Me, when I can't make the shot, I examine the ball - it might be damaged pt not well rounded.

An exceptional outpouring of the boundless well of hope and aspiration. This is a wondrous journey that you have conceived of expectation and resiliency. Would to God that all could know such hope and faith. Well done.
Till the last amen
