Ten Worms Emerged
a counting poem for children141 total reviews
Comment from judiverse
The robin in the picture looks so plump, it must have eaten all ten of the worms. This is a delight, and I'm sure children would love hearing about what happens to each of the worms. I love the phrase wiggle proved too weak. Very clever. Excellent rhyme in this, and it's easy to visualize the fate of each of the worms. A joy to read. judi

Thank you so much, Judi - If it ate all ten, that would make for a very short poem LOL Brooke

Comment from Leineco
You are so good at these counting poems! What a free flowing imagination!
If I had children or grandchildren I'd gather them up and make a book!!
As always, I totally enjoyed reading your poem - but I have to admit the stanza I loved best was
Six worms enjoyed the puddles
created by a storm --
one heard that worms can never drown,
but he was misinformed.
I laughed out loud at that one :-)

And what a perfect counting poem for a snails and puppy-dog-tails sort of grandchild! Being the girly girl that I am I was squirming in my seat as I ready the gory details of some of those worm's demise. LOL
Thanks for sharing this cute poem filled up with loads of alliteration and a wonderful rhythm and rhyme.
Blessings and hugs,
Marsha

Ten Words is a fun poem to read. It has a jaunty cadence that makes you want to dance along and they crawl along the ground. I enjoyed the read.

I love your "counting poems"...a happy combination of system and your vivid imagination. I hope Sawyer gets to read these. I am sure he will appreciate them more and more as he grows. :) Dennis

Hi Brooke,
This is another interesting poem that I enjoyed reading. You come up with the cutest things to write about. I wish my brain would give me such neat ideas, but as I grow older it becomes slower.

Comment from Gargantuan2
Aww, such sad things to happen to a worm. But I recall that they also regenerate when cut, so maybe there will be ten again some day. :)

I absolutely love this. How creative, to choose a subject as common as a worm and place it in ten different predicaments that not only engages the reader, but keeps him,or her, wanting more. This was animation at its best.

Excellent poem. Lines rhymed very good.
TEN WORMS EMERGED FROM NEATH THE GROUND
ONE WONDERED IN THE ROBIN'S PATH, AND THEN IT WAS NO MORE
