Comment from Joan E.
I relished the way you incorporated the images that Brooke often captures in her poetry. I know she will appreciate your alternating rhymes in these quatrains as much as I did. Your "spinning sunshine to shawls" is memorable and is intensified with its alliteration. Yes, here's to her speedy recovery! -Joan

I am sure that Brooke will appreciate this wonderful tribute to her poetry. I think that it is delightful that you sought images from her poetry. I also hope that she will soon be well and rejoin us in our writing endeavors.

As with all the other tribute pieces for Brooke, your poem rings with sincerity of feeling for our missing 'Mother Hen.'
You did a good job of capturing the kind of images she uses so well in her own poems and the rhyme and meter was also reminiscent of her work, although I have to say it would be a real artist who could match her skill in that department.

Thank you very much. You are an expert in rhymes too and so if you say 'you did a good job' it is enough for me .No ,i am under no illusions that I am that real artist. in fact I wrote a free verse poem and then thought that since it is for the mistress of rhyme ,I should try to write in rhymes. It does not come easily to me ,I really struggle and end up with clumsy lines.Free verse is easy to write especially for some one like me for whom time is a very big issue.
Thanks once again.

I remember many of the images you recount from Brooke's poetry. Your ABAB rhymes are fine and you weave a good theme as well. An excellent post, I think.

It is beautiful descriptive words as these that weaves us into amazing worlds of natural beauty that is all around us. I enjoyed reading your poem and being swept up into a different place, if only for a moment.

I like the way you incorporated her fanstory name in the poem. You have certainly done her justice. She is the sunshine that lights up the site. She is always able to take even the mundane and clothe it in diamonds and ermine.
