A great companion piece to your Encino elephant poem. Once again exploring the wonders of being a child. Great cadence and flow, fun and interesting to read. Some day young Sawyer will look back on all of these and be profoundly blessed.

Another strange creature for the young entomologist to study. You certainly choose some interesting topics for your poems. So light and humorous. You are a most prolific writer. Thanks for the entertainment. Pete

Hi Pearly One,
How totally charming! Both the kid and the adult in me loved your bug poem. It flows so well has a wonderful lyrical sound to it. Great pic, too. My oh my! Is that little grandson of yours ever growing fast!
Hugs, Aggie

Aggie, thank you so very much, my friend :-) He is growing far TOO fast :-) But I can't convince him to slow down and neither can his mommy :-) I so appreciate your generous sixth star. Brooke

Good children's poem that you are so talented at writing. I think the rollies may even know their name, and they are playing a game themselves. It like why a bumble bee, Bumbles?

Another wonderful poem from Brooke! I think I am going to run out of superlatives for your poetry sooner or later, and then I'll be repeating myself. Remembering playing with roly polys made this poem even more fun. Wonderful flow and rhythm, and your perfect and approximate rhyming is well done; and great use of alliteration. And Sawyer -- what can I say! Thanks, Brooke. Alana

Brooke;
as the first time I heard them called roly-poly bugs For I only knew them as sow bugs. But I do like the way you use the named to go well within the metering of your poem.
The writing was neither forced nor labored while the rhythm flowed smoothly throughout your poem.
Your imagination is truly inventive and creative while your imagery is descriptive And expressive throughout.
Thank you for sharing and posting this for everyone to read and may all your endeavors be good ones.

Observance is the name of the game. You have to watch and see what all these little earth wandering creatures get up to. It amazes me that there are so many different types yet each has a purpose. I liked this questioning poem. luv jada
