You don't like worms and I couldn't use one for live bait! Poor worms all ended up with a terrible fate, bar one. Funny little story/poem for kiddies and old folks like me. Well done Mrs Crawly.

Kay, thank you so much, my friend :-) Sadly, I must confess to detesting the slimy creatures :-) I would never go out of my way to kill one, but I don't mourn the dead ones either. LOL I appreciate your shiny sixth star :-) Brooke

Really like count down poems and the nice hook at the end. Great art work of the mother bird that seem to be ignoring the baby bird's hungry wide-open mouth.

This is another great poem except the verse that ends in 'the other waved goodbye.' I don't now, that line seems out of sorts somehow. I hope you don't mind me saying that. Thank you for sharing.

A fine story of crawling attrition.
I can't help but wonder, Brooke, if these poems
are meant to teach rudimentary math skills, or
introduce kids to the concept of loss and death?
Or maybe, they're just meant to entertain.
But as entertaining as your poems are, I think you always have a lesson in mind.
Peace, Lee

You do these count down poems so well Brooke and you come up with such great fates for the nine luckless worms. A great read, light and enjoyable.

Brook, is the meter or syllable count or something off in the first two lines of the early stanzas, or is it just too early for me to be reviewing? :) Nancy

Comment from A TARNISHED KNIGHT
what a great way to learn how to count. The flow just never stopped. No deep water slowed your words as they kept this reader head above water waiting to move on to the next count of little crawlers Great job as always.

Comment from Dom G Robles
Brooke, this poem starting with ten worm until it ended to zero was well described with beauty of rhyme and rhythm.
Reading the fourth stanza made me smile. Four worms were hard of hearing...one never heard of those footsteps and so became a victim--(what a keen perception!) the three others hard of hearing were safe. I was just thrilled how they escaped since they were also hard of hearing, maybe it was just lack that made their fate but ultimately one of the three crawled back beneath the ground...and still one made it back to freedom, (So there are two that made it back to freedom.... What a keen imagination! Congratulations. Dom
