but she turns ugly into fabulous
and a bad day into a loving smile;

Hopefully, Brooke will be back with us to do this again. Your poem is a nice tribute to her.

You are right. As I put it in my poem, fanstory is Brooke's backyard. And over that territory, she does stand like lady liberty welcoming us all. I think that finding beauty in a weed speaks to her seeing beauty and merit in everyone. I'm sure this poem will help to lighten her load.

What a super way to compare Brooke with Lady Liberty. She does welcome all and give "refuge" to the weary poets with her expertise. Good job and thanks for sharing.

Great photo of the statue of liberty that complements your poem perfectly. I enjoyed how you mentioned dandelions as well. You want her to return safely to the harbour. I am sure Brooke will lie your poem.

Lively Linda: I like your poem honoring precious Brooke. She is a lovely lady who we looked forward to reading and chatting with her. I would be reviewing her poetry as she was reviewing mine before church. She is an elder spreading love like those dandelions. I like your images with the harbor and statue of Liberty. I like how she shares her family with us. I'm praying for Brooke too. God bless.

My thoughts and prayers are with Brooke and her family. Her illness sounds serious I and fear she may not return. I hope I am wrong and continue to pray for her. Beautiful poem that describes her so well.

This is a beautifully worded poem for our Brooke, her talent to write about dandelions far surpasses any other, but again how many of us write about dandelion? Just askin' Patricia
