As soon as I read the title, I knew I was going to love this poem and I did. It's fantastic. It's another first grade poem. I can't wait to see their artwork.

I can't wait either - thanks so much, Barbara. If anyone loves dandelions more than I do, it's a first grader :-) Brooke

This is such a great poem for children. Learning to count backwards, and a cute little story told as well. Thank you dear talented Brooke for sharing your talent with us here on FanStory. Lovely and inspirational as well.

You and your dandelions. LOL! :)

I like your counting poem, and kids NEVER tire of those things. Kids just love counting songs... and dandelions. Especially blowing those fluffy seeds all over the yard to start a new batch!

I wrote one, too. Feel free to sing along. :)

100 dandelions in a yard
100 dandelions
"Damn it!" I shout
as I dig one out
99 dandelions in a yard

99 dandelions in a yard
99 dandelions
"Damn it!" I shout
as I dig one out
99 dandelions in a yard...

etc.

I am shaking with laughter right now, Phyllis. I want you to make a you tube video where you sing all 100 damn verses. LOL Thanks so much for the laugh, my friend :-) Brooke
