Very good, debi. Brooke will love this:

"We call you poet, mentor, friend.
And now good vibes and prayers we send
to our dear Muse, for Muse you be,
sweet sister of Calliope."

Blessings, Bob

The power to learn and then to grow is a marvelous line with strength and shows the impact Brooke has on students and poets. Your poetic form takes the reader to another place, Will float and fly upon the air, is another line that captures the spirit of Brooke.

'These dewdrops flow upon the page
in verses gracious, gentle, sage.
You guide us with a knowing hand
and give us tools to understand:'

Just beautiful, Debi. Your affection for Brooke comes through very clearly. Like you, I hope our words of support will help her find the inner strength to battle this catastrophe.

A most charming tribute to a lady who is currently receiving many. My favourite verse here is your third, and pivotal verse with fine imagery based on the dandelion seed and when they fly on the wind everyone receives their share. Well written.

Calliope, the perfect muse to describe our dear Brooke, Debi.
Your poem was meticulously well rhymed and metered, and the eloquent words, phrases and metaphorical references you allude to in it are all things FanStory's own "adewpearl" is so well known for. Her inspirational, daily poetic pick-me-ups and tutelage is sorely missed here, and I'm sure I speak for everyone when I say that I hope she makes a full and speedy recovery.
Beautifully done, Debi. I'm sure Brooke is going to love this one.

    Thank you the detailed comments about the writing and the theme, Dean. I appreciate your insights.

    You do echo the sentiments we all feel out our missing muse. Brooke's influence is such a positive one and she is inspirational in so many ways. I hope she can write and share with us again.

Another lovely offering in Brooke's virtual garden. I am sure she will be amazed at how far and wide the dandelion seeds have spread. Love the Calliope reference.
