Now that's my kind of monster, that scares himself popping his bubble gum. They should all be like that!
I enjoyed the great rhymes and rhythm in your couplets. Fun, easy reading. Well done, Brooke.

Father and child in a game of love and tugging and sitting on shoulder.
The big green daddy is all ready for fun with his bubble gum and got himself scared when the bubble gum popped in front of his eyes.
Baby boy said no need to be frightened, please continue blowing the gum to give me joy.
Cheerio, well presented and excellently penned.
Hugs, Ritchie. :))

Rare moment for the photo. Great job on the poem. Somehow, I get the impression this is number one Grandson? Keep them flowing Brooke it keeps the heart tinder and open. Blessings.

Making friends is the ultimate adventure at any age. I love this aabb rhymed poem, especially the enjambment bridging stanzas five and six. And Sawyer's big, green, bubble gum chewing guy. A fun poem, Brooke. :) nancy

I can see this big guy chewing green gum....you are so so good.

The picture of Sawyer (your baby I guess?) is so cute. and his daddy is full of love for him...it is so obvious you can write so well when your life is full of love...you show it in your lines, love, love, love

What was he looking at! Was it bubbles, I have never seen such an expression, love him! Your poem suits it right down to the purple canvas and little green soles on his shoes. Another really lovely, bouncy poem, Brooke. xsx Sandra
