I don't hate worms, but I loved your poem, Brooke. I don't like the "smell" of them after a rain and they lie all squished and mushed up on the driveway or sidewalk. LOL

Oh, the smell is horrendous - I appreciate your reviewing some of my poems that are not even paying you for it any more! Yeah, I pretty much hate these creations of God. Thanks, Brooke :-)
Comment from Curt Mongold
I really like the style this is written in. The word usage and symmetry is complimented by the meaning captured throughout this fine work. It brings the message home on many levels. Besides, it's a difficult style!
A fine job.
Sincerely,
Curt

Comment from Susan E. Pennycuff
I guess it wouldn't interest you to know that my two children have spent the last couple days in the back yard looking for worms then, would it... lmbo ... yeah I hate them too, but for some reason, kids find them facinating, go figure. Nice poem, but to be honest, I just loved your author notes, got a kick out of them, especially the part about any worms who might be reading this who lost a loved one... do worms read? lol

My children loved the ugly things too, but they quickly learned all presents of worms were to be given to Daddy, not me.
I got the dandelions, he got the worms - and everyone stayed happy LOL thanks for your most warm and amusing review, Brooke :-)
Comment from LegendaryAngel
Oh my, I was never for worms but after this I feel like they are crawling on my feet right now...ew.
You do a great job of instilling some sort of feeling into the reader, which for me is a slight disgust for worms now. Very good work.

What a sweet and clever little poem! I loved it. The rhythm is perfect and you chose your words well. Although the 'zero' did throw me a bit.
You really don't like wormies do you? lol... I feel that way about snakes.
Good job!

This is just too cute! My granddaughter is learning her ABCs now (still an ocsional slip, I'm afraid), but I'm not sure she'd appreciate the finer points of this little ditty! Favorite line:
Kin lie mashed

Cool work! Deb

I love that time in life when the little ones learn their abc's and numbers and colors - enjoy! Thanks for this lovely review, Brooke :-)

I didn't see this morning that both of these excellent poems were written by the same author. Bravo to you! Keep up the incredible, enviabl work. I love poetry but write fiction. Songs are about as close to poetry as I can come, but God gifts us each as we need for our jobs, right?
Would love to see your thoughts on my latest chapter segment. Unfortunately, the book is almost over. If you don't mind a late ride on the wagon check it out. It's called 'Looking for Orion' and the segment is 'Intrusion --B'. If not, I totally understand; chapter 39 is late in the game. It is in reality chapter 12, but dividing nto smallsegmens makes it seem LLLLLLOOOOONNNNNNGGGGGG! D

I will look now :-)
Comment from Bryana
Your poem certainly made me smile. I hate
snakes, so I understand. As far as worms,
they feed, not only the birds, but our plants
as well and in some countries they are the source
of protein.
Your poem was well written and fun to read.
Have a nice day, Ana

Comment from Clouddancer
The birds like worms! LOL! This poem brought a smile as it reminded me of birds that take their pick of fruits and berries in my backyard. Hmmm...I haven'tseen any worms lately...guess I know why! This is a delightful read!
