Dear Brooke - another well penned children's poem. Reminds me of the song 10 bottles sitting on a wall.:) Nice imagery and easy read for kids.
Overall a well crafted work with smiles.
Thanks for sharing.

Reviewer Form:
Type of writing being reviewed: A counting poem for children
Poem type: Children poetry
Does this poem flow: This poem flows very well with its metered and end rhyme of the second and fourth line.
Do the lines seem forced: Lines are not forced and have a musical like cadence to it
Did the structure make sense: The structure is fully established as one to be read by children
Did it draw on my emotions: It took me from the flowering of the dandelions to the withering of same.
Did it present strong images: The germination of dandelions seeds as they are scattered and planted in the ground present vivid images of how dandelions grow in abundance.
Suggestions for improvement: A perfectly structured poem with no need for improvement.
Would I recommend this to someone else: Certainly would recommend this story as an educational tool for children.
Comments: This is an excellent poem for teaching children at primary level how to count.

Hey, this is great. I love the fast paced readability of it. It is a fun read; one which I am sure kids would love to hear over and over again. Bright and happy!

This very cute and can be a real aid to learning one's numbers. Did you do something similar to this a while back? Very good, the only thing it's missing is a fellow by the name of Sawyer...:)Dennis

Dennis, thank you so much :-) I've done several counting poems, the last one with hippos. Brooke
Comment from Dean Kuch
I know many people don't like dandelions and discredit them merely as weeds, but I've always found them to be lovely. So vibrant and bright, how can one not be cheered up on a wind-swept summer's day in a field of dandelions?
Your count-down poem highlighting many of these lovely little weeds pitfalls was wonderfully done, Brooke, as per your usual.
Great work!

I bet way more people would find them lovely if they sold them in florist shops for $12.99 a bundle. LOL Thanks so much, Dean, for your review and the lovely moving picture :-) Brooke

You are probably right, Brooke. And you are very welcome! :]

What a wonderful counting poem for children, but it sure is a pleasure to read for an old crone with a child's heart, Brooke. Your verses are a delight with so much imagery.
Smiles,
Karyn : )

Comment from Just Pete
Loved this adaption of the old ten green bottles song. Like so many wild flowers, regarded as weeds, the dandelion has a charm of its own. Your high ranking on this site is well deserved. Pete

Comment from RodG
I love your counting backwards from ten poems, Brooke, and this is no exception. It's fun to see what becomes of each dandelion. As always, a child would enjoy this poem as each stanza conjures a vivid picture. Nicely done.

Really enjoyed your counting poem. Especially the one that becomes thousands. And in each stanza, the dandelions give of themselves, the final act suggesting one act of kindness spawns thousands.
