Notes About The Poem

Bond of Brothers

Look at you , my young brother so alive
like a sea-god with feet curling on waves,
the reef drenching our  boxers of summer
with impish eyes grinning till noon cracks.
I have a best buddy gentle as crests’ ebb;
he’ll be a rocker  like me when we grow up,
chart- topper of  wind-songs blowing the tides
drooling cool rhythm ; fine lyrics I will supply.


Trust me, your superman vows on bond’s warmth
under lit stars, guitars and bonfire shall flame…
now, if our folks can add a sister into this knit
five of us beachcombers, can conquer the seas!

Every line is a pointer to your God given talent,the more I read your work the better I appreciate you. "I have a best buddy gentle as crests’ ebb; he’ll be a rocker like me when we grow up,";"and if a bully dares you , ill whack his neck..." ; these can not be said to be ordinary . The way you technically omitted " will" in:ill(will) whack his neck is so beautiful, I just love your style nette;...congrats on this wonderful work and win...hugs.

This is really a very striking piece my very dear friend, Nette. A brilliant write indeed. A while ago, this beautiful painting caught my attention when I visited the contest nook but nothing conceived in my thought. But you did really great! Loving this so much my dear friend. So glad I came back here to read. All the best in the contest. Many hugs! Btw, sorry I wasn't able to go home last undas 'coz of sched at school. Hope next time dearest one. Miss you, love lots Leonora

This poem is a mixture of fantasy, adventure and brotherly love, that flows off the tongue like syrup while leaving a sweet after taste....delicious!

You portrayed the big brother as a truly loving and caring sibling. I love his innocent passion for life and family. I enjoyed the direction you took this - it is uplifting ... CayCay
