Excellent

Another really nice poem. Never thought of giggles having their own little world but you brought them to life. Giggles are probable the happiest sound in the world. Like your rhyme and the verses.

Excellent

Very cute and clever tale of the giggle that cant help but wiggle out. Reading this, you just have to smile. The poetic imagery, of holding it back, really set the mood. Nicely done. Sawyer is so cute.

Another cute one. It so wonderful to observe the sincere joy and uninhibited giggles of a child as it brings joy to ourselves.
I enjoy reading and sharing your poems with my own grandchildren.

NIce to get a well presented poem with humor galore in it.
(I had to giggle a couple of times) Your rhyming is good and doesn't sound forced,and i enjoyed your thoughts on the subject. And your subject is really clever.
All in all a good poem, I hope you have it published.

Another great poem for the children to enjoy, It is so true that when a giggle get hold, it is a helpless situation, but it can be a very enjoyable one.

Well written

Giggles do indeed grow if suppressed...as every kid in a classroom knows. And they're contageous, too. What a great poem! Love your subjects, Brooke. Wish I had your imagination. :) Nancy

Oh how I can relate to this, thankfully not out at dinner

your chosen words portray this well to the reader allowing them to see and feel this dilemma when a giggle can't be contained

good imagery

good enjambment through sentences allows flow

good rhyme through verses not forced

good use "L" "S" "G" "F" consonance

good use "O" "E" assonance

good alliteration in
giggle, grow
when, will
can, chase
die, double

good use verbs

flows well

cheers Smoothiecool

To adewpearl,
A great idea to make into a poem. But it certainly is true once you start it is very hard to get stopped. But then again they say, laughter is the best medicine for what ever ails you. And also allows a much more longer and stimulating life. I'll Take It!
Very nice flow, thus making for an easy read.

This is infectious. I feel a giggle growing! Your lovely piece brings to mind children hastily covering their mouths their hands to stifle that eruption.

Why can't a spoon be a mirror--too cute! You both made the child in me grin. I enjoyed your rhymed quatrains and animated photograph. Here's to giggles! Many smiles- Joan
