"Nobody Knows When a Giggle Will Grow" Is a lovely addition to your repertoire of marvelous, fun yet real Poems. I learned today that:"giggles don't die but double". I will remember that.
May God Bless you, have a Happy Thanksgiving.

Deny it if you can
Still say it was your plan
To start a giggle roll
To make one whole
From the inside out
Cause laughter does the heart good like a medicine..
Well done, Buck

Well, my morning is started off with a big smile and a giggle. Well done Grandmother. Yep! She caught you again, Sawyer. Run for it. Blessings to you and family, Brooke.

Good Morning Brooke, As usual, I love your rhyme choices:
Pursuing, undoing
expected, rejected
It is a perfect sharing of the feeling when a giggle explodes, of its own volition, from the unwary mouth - and how one can lead to an entire gaggle of giggles that takes on a life of its own. Thank you for my morning smile, again. Not easy to do at this early hour but you usually manage. - Wendy

I have to feed breakfast to six strangers in just a bit. What are you doing up at this hour?

I'm an early riser, and some mornings even earlier than others - I think my problem is that last night I went to bed an hour earlier than usual. I know when I wake up if there is no point in trying to go back to sleep. LOL

Seems to me you will have a lifetime of photos in order to get inspiration from. Is your daughter a professional photographer? Or simply a proud mommy?
Nicely done, Brooke. In all honesty, it made me giggle... John

Thanks so much, John. She is a talented amateur photographer whose late dad taught photography and was also a photo historian :-) The talent has been passed on to her. Professionally, she is the world's best nanny :-) Brooke
Comment from linsbm
You are a so loving grandmother that every bit of fun and happy moments you are not selfish to share. How lucky your daughter and grandson to have you with all that life is worth to spend with. This poem is so truthful and applies not only in children but also adult. Many can relay with. Nice photo shot of Sawyer's giggle. It makes one to imitate also. Thank you for always sharing beautiful poems with us. } Lin

Comment from Eric1
Hi Brooke, a wonderful poem about suppressing a giggle which will always pop up at the most inappropriate times, it reminded me of that scene in Mary Poppins, where they had to stop giggling to get off the ceiling, great picture of Sawyer!

Comment from mfowler
super cute photo; love the forming giggle in the reflection
excellent rhyme and rhythm
very clever use of discreet alliteration eg politeness is worth pursuing,
but giggles will grow
wide use of effective enjambment to keep the flow of narrative
a really strong child's poem about a reall issue; holding back a forming giggle which will inevitably have to be dealt with
most enjoyable, Brooke.

This is cute Brooke, and I read it out loud a time or two. I'd be reading this to my child in repeatedly. Excellent meter, and rhyme. Kenny

Comment from DR DIP
A fun poem in your favourite ABCB rhyme scheme which to me is a talent in itself but it must be done in perfect meter to attain the rhythm and beat
This is where I thought patterns differ every time And i' argue with many who continue to want to correct my postings with saying the syllabic count and rhythm is out
you see I can READ aloud to myself how this can read perfectly only when I accentuate and pause appropriately
you see I am as you know NOT anal about syllabic count in the written word. I suppose my analogy is that if you read song lyrics in rhyme as against singing the same you can change the whole rhythm of the sung words as against the read words.
I know you are a tutor of poetry and your expertise in the written word, especially poetry is anally perfect but let me say Brooke without you going off in a huff and saying I'm abrasive which really did shit me for a week or two but I took it in my stride and accepted it.
What you did prove to me is that you still went to the trouble to review my two cent poems the whole eleven before I even gave you a thanking reply.
Just one thing Brooke and I know you get hundreds of reviews and time is of the essence,
but please, try not to just "cut and paste" replies.
with the greatest respect
dip
P.S.
these verses..this is how I would have written it for rhythm as I think syllabic count means nothing if you know how to SAY or READ rhyming poetry
I held in my laughter as long as I could
so I wouldn't get into trouble,
but all of my efforts just went up in smoke,
for giggles don't die; they double!.
I didn't invite it, but once it showed up,
that giggle would not keep quiet,
and though you may think, I'm clearly to blame,
I'm telling you, I'll deny it!
this is just me and how I READ it not how you poetically write it

Dip, it is always good to hear from you. I promise to reread my poem later in the morning with your suggestions in mind. Right now my brain isn't fully charging at 5:30 before the sun is up :-) I always read everything I'm composing aloud because I think poetry is intended to be heard as a most important part of the experience and appreciate that you too value the sound of a poem. Brooke
