They won't let me leave a link. If I could, I would leave a link for Grace VanderWaal singing Florets.
It is beautiful. She's suggesting we be like florets. I hope you can find it.

now your story: I like how you use personification. This will draw the reader in. This is good because it lets us know to pray or sending healing energy.

Hi John,
like I said, I read this brilliance earlier, but couldn't review until now... hey, and now on reading this again, and then aloud to my wife Jade, we both needed something to wipe away the tears from such a cute and heartfelt write... yeah, even the poetry you think you can't write, but so obviously can hit the mark or should I say, the heart.

Like I've said a million time previously... you rock this style of writing, there is such and innocent-child-like quality... and not saying it was written by a child, more a very sensitive and clever wordsmith, that can do nothing but melt the most frozen amongst us with his intent... never doubt who you are as a writer... I don't!

A very beautiful and creative 'Get Well Brooke' treat, and a true healing of the soul, Brother... uniquely you!

With our thoughts we create,
the magic of healing,
James.

Love this conversation between Mango and Bert. It is comforting, I am an animal lover the image of the two canines is wonderful. Love the poem about the dandelions, like Brooke, I love those beautiful flowers.....um weeds. Your words show love for our beloved poet.

Dear John,
I think Brooke will be delighted with your story as well as the poem. I know I was. The comment about the comma after direct address to God really got me. Teardrop...
Great job,
Love, Carolyn

    She nailed me countless times with that and I still mess it up! I'm glad you like and enjoyed it. John

    Note: how've you been. Have seen or read your writing in a while?

A lot of people seem to be reminded of dandelions when they think of Brooke. I just found out yesterday why she had not been posting or reviewing lately. This is a thoughtful tribute to her.

Excellent Poem! The author could have fooled me - I really liked her poem. The author's words are creative, thought provoking and descriptive. The artwork is perfect and reflects the theme of this poem. Brooke is so well loved -
with prayers and loving energy.
Thank you, harmony13
