Oh, Little Ears, you have real cut ears and nice ways, too! What a warming poem of remembrance for your brother Tommy; I'm sure he is grinning ear-to-ear down upon you right this minute.

I like this write Gene...I like the trip back to the time of nicknames, the titles of our youth...A great tribute to your brother and to your feelings for him
Awww, how precious and heartfelt, bringing tears to my eyes as I read every precious word of love and endearment. So sorry your big brother is gone, but in your heart he will always remain....
LOL...that is precious. I really like the way you found a bright spot in what could have been a sad memory. ~ Sara

Gene, this touches the heart and the way you handle the telling without allowing it to spill over into trite is admirable and makes the heart feel more. The humming-bird image is particularly strong and finely conceived. Well done, Little Ears!

Beautiful poem remembering a special person. My older brother is gone too. His friends called him "horse" in Spanish because for most of his life he was strong as a horse. I believe that is 'El Cabio (SP?' or something like that. His real name was Richard but he was also called Dick. I called him Dee Dee. Lot of names for one guy. Being called 'Ears' or 'Little Ears' was cute. What happens to our brothers when we are gone--is that when they are forotten and live only in the poems and stories we write.
Nice when someone compares you to someone you look up to and trying to walk in their footsteps, Gene, in this case your big brother...this is a wonderful wing exercise necessary for the young birds' (boys') development, important that the wings (ears) can be situated without striking a wing (ear) against anything. Two bronze hummingbirds (boys) growing up beneath a banana leaf, listening with all ears...Tommy and Gene...
This made me smile...the memories...are even more dear when cherished. Its really funny how younger children look up to they brothers/sisters in envy...and even more delighted when they are comparied to them. Great write!
Great memories of a time in your brothers life and I felt pride in your words when you told us, they called you little ears. thank you gene, I do enjoy reading you.
