What a great poem, Brooke. I see Sawyer is all boy. They can't seem to resist climbing. I love the picture. Thanks for sharing.

Comment from robina1978
A little but very sweet poem, even though I don't know what a rung is. And as always good rhyme and meter. His photo complements it very well.

Comment from Louise Michelle
Hi Brooke, Might I add 'what goes up has to come down?' I can just hear Sawyer saying, "This is another fine mess I've gotten myself into." I loved the whimsy in the first line and the bouncy pace. Hugs, Lou

Comment from Eric1
Ho Brooke, this has got to be the shortest yet also the best reality check I have ever read, One rung at a time that's a great outlook on life.

Comment from rama devi
Adorable and well voiced with a musical lyrical swing to it. Good flow and rhyming. Great picture. Love the whimsy, dear B. Excellent alliteration and consonance of T. sounds super read aloud. The brevity lends it impact. Well done.
Love,
rd

Comment from Gargantuan2
I remember the old poster with a cat dangling from a limb and subtitled "hang in there Baby". One rung is what it was, and this one is nicely stated for kids to understand as well. :)

Comment from padumachitta
Hi. Great. A quick poem to makes us listen up. Personally Ei keep hoping for Wonder woman, well...honestly some magical shape shifter white witch, who will see my magical potential and show me how to heal by laying on hands and ...well...you get my drift. Until then, I best keep hanging on and climbing forward:-)

Comment from GracieAnn
Brooke, you relay an important truth through use of simply understood terms. Humor adds to the meaning set in a short b b rhyme scheme. Nice. :0 GracieAnn

Comment from mfowler
Very nice message here, Brooke. If you want to get to the top, there's no easy way, no superhero swooping in to make the route easy. Resilience seems top be the central theme as climbing the rungs is posted as the way to the top, a lovely metaphor for perseverance. Thanks for the reminder.
