Comment from Robert Lee Brown
Brooke, this is another of your many great writes for Sawyer. I love the way you built up this big green monster to a frightful level and then noted that he was chewing gum, which makes him friendly. But, it couldn't be bubble gum, because when he blew bubbles, we wouldn't know if it w as bubble gum bubbles or his own bubbles. Another sign of the Masterful touch, which you have. Thanks for sharing with your friend, Bob

We are all green with envy at these delightful rhymes! HA!
Great children's verse...Big green monster, but slightly shy. Not hard to be friends when seen to have some fears too.

Comment from Alan K Pease
This poem strikes a chord for humanity:
compassion, brotherly love, fraternity, fellow feeling, philanthropy, humaneness, kindness, consideration, understanding, sympathy, tolerance; leniency, mercifulness, tenderness; benevolence, charity, goodness, magnanimity, generosity.
All the words to describe a small boy as he grows up in his grandmother's eyes and her in ours. You are growing up too are you Brooke? Your words are always young and vibrant and a joy to us all.

I loved how this poem express feeling within words, how it flow throughout the whole poetic form but what I didn't like was how long it was the flow got boring at the end, and quite a but too long

Good poem with good word flow and rhyming about the big green monster that turned out to be a friendly guy. Thanks for sharing about the bubble blowing monster.

Hi Brooke,
I truly like your big green bubble blowing friend.
He's very easy to visualize, especially when he hopped back when the bubble popped.
I also like how your Speaker addresses him and they become "best of friends."

Comment from teafor2
adewpearl--Definitely a case of the gentle giant initially
being misunderstood/type-cast/misjudged as an unknown
quantity: once his quality shown or he's given a chance...
different story. Some similar morals can be taken from
a "Fairytale" like this (and not just for youngsters).

Dear Brooke,
It was a one horned, one eyed flying purple people eater. You must have had a colour blind spasm when you penned these impeccable lines.
