Hi Brooke,
What cute pictures of Sawyer. It looks like he's having fun climbing. Your poem is great, like always. I had fun looking at him having fun and reading your wonderful work.

I really liked this little poem, adewpearl. I have to remind my own daughter to take one literal step at a time (she has spina bifida), and also to be patient at whatever it is you're trying to do in life.

Brooke! Cute! Like the alliteration with Superman and swoopin', ticket and top.
It is short but very sweet! Great message of encouragement.
hugs and blessings,
Marsha

I love it, such a fun way to pass along good advice. Appealing to young and old. Short and sweet and to the point. It looks like superman was not needed Sawyer is doing fine on his own.

Very nicely done.. The photo helps the poem but the poem stands on its own without the photo. I know FS wants a long sort-of review. Here is my long drawn out review: good writing, well presented and nice to read. OK?

Comment from rjuselius
Indeed getting to the top is a slow process and a demanding one. No one can get up a high if the rungs are oiled, the drop down however is a quick one.
thank you for sharing this philosophical piece!

Hi adewpearl(Brooke),
This short, witty, rhymed poem qualifies as a wise and instructive epigram. Cute photo of Sawyer completes the work to perfection. Nicely done.

Nice description of climbing. Hope he don't fall.
SUPERMAN AIN'T SWOOPIN' IN
TO HELP YOU ON YOUR CLIMB
THE ONLY TICKET TO THE TOP
COMES ONE RUNG AT A TIME

Brooke: words of wisdom written briefly in a fun rhyme. Made me stop to think of all the places with which this could apply: baby's first steps, learning the alphabet one letter at a time, climbing up the corporate ladder, one ring at a time as trees grow. The thoughts were endless. Thanks once again for such entertaining and life pertaining poetry. Linda

I always enjoy your little lessons in these rhymed pieces. Of course, a photograph of Sawyer's energized, parallel actions help! Many cheers- Joan
