Not yet exceptional. When the exceptional rating is reached this is highlighted

What a beautifully written poem. A wonderful dedication to your friend also. Very gently written, but displays many beautiful images. Your comparisons work perfectly. Well done. Thank you for sharing.

Very strong word choice and flow. Excellent sentiment, the Brook will face scars and pain in life, but will always remain beautiful.

I am new here, can you fill me in a little? I have come across several wonderful poems for her. She must be special to have such support.

This work has reached the exceptional level

And so it will, and so it should Squires Gal. A brook never looses it's way. It might be diverted, but it never looses it's way. Beautiful poetry, beautiful words beautiful symmetry. Good picture to accompany. Eric

Charlie, this has to be the best poem I've read by you.

It has humor, of course; who could deny:

Ten little bed bugs
In their graves are laid
There are no more bed bugs
Thank you, God and RAID.

Also, your tempo and rhyming was good.

Ha, ha, ha! Charlie you are a riot! You have one of the all time great senses of humor. I have said more than once that you are a uniquely twisted individual. I find that a particularly pleasing quality. Good job.

This is an eloquent and evocative poem and ode to Brooke. I enjoyed your use of metaphor for such a talented poet. The floor of your words capture the flow of the brook and Brooke's creativity. Your rhymes are elegant. Thank you for sharing your tribute poem.

As soon as I saw your title, I thought of Brooke--I hope she has a chance to read your poem soon and enjoy the smiles. I started to itch as I read your rhymed quatrains and was grateful to RAID too! Cheers and bug-free weekend- Joan

Hi Charlie,

Once again you manage to create something amusing and I'm sure Brooked will appreciate it - especially as she has been playing with her own 'ten green ...' renditions as you know.

Nicely done.

Patrick
