Poetic bouquets filling up her room. May they chase away any gloom. Can't just imagine her smiling and thinking, "Oh my, all of my instruction took root!"

You are so right about dear Brooke. Thank you for the awesome 6 and kind comments. Jan

Oh, I was wondering about the dots. At first i thought I had a dirty screen. Lol. Yes, Brooke wrote many and she should get a kick out of this one. Actually it is shorter than most of hers because she wrote a whole quatrain for each number, and sometimes more. She should love this one. Thanks for sharing and cheering her up.

I love your counting poem. I sure hope I can put one together. I started one, but it may take me a while. Great subject of fleas. I didn't mind reading a longer poem since the counting theme is fun! Well done.

Thank you so much for the great review. I read some of Brooke's counting poems again, and there were some that were about as long as mine. I did not think it would be this long, but it kept going, and going, and . . .

A great way to honor Brooke my friend. If she can read this beautifully written poem in her honor she will be pleased. Thanks so much for sharing your great talent with us. The poem flowed smoothly, great rhyming and rhythm and I just enjoyed reading to find out what each little flea would do. Thanks for sharing Pharp

Alas! The mind has been challenged! The fleas have fled, the thoughts have bled and now it's time for the writer to go off to bed. A ditty for a witty and a mission for some fleas...now I hope my five stars
Will put your mind alas...at ease! HIS GRAYNESS

Thank you for your time reading and reviewing my poem. Your comments are funny, but I appreciate the seriousness of the actual score. Thank you.

Wish I had a six for you, Jannypan! This was an exceptional five! So well done from a very talented poetess! A bee from a hive said "come, let's jive", was my favorite flea since he got to dance! My second fun flee was the one that went shopping!

Seriously though, I haven't been on fanstory long enough to know Brook, but I think she is such a great person to have such loving, and talented friends! Great job!

Thank you so much. I appreciate your exceptional five. I appreciate your kind comments. Yes, Brooke is a great person. Check out her portfolio. You will see that she was a master at writing counting poems. Even though you are new, you can write a counting poem, or any poem, for her. Thank you again for your support.

Comment from aroundthebend

Good

Enjoyed the read! Found myself getting a little antsy waiting for the next line...like I didn't know what was coming next! Good job. You tracked the little critters very well, who was who and where they were going next throughout the piece.

Thank you. It is a story counting poem. It required the length. What would you suggest I do differently?

reply by aroundthebend on 27-May-2015

I'll have to get back to you on that. I really don't know what you should do differently! If I come up with something, I'll let you know.

reply by the author on 27-May-2015

Thank you. Please reread when you have time.

Brooke loved writing counting poems and you have paid good tribute to her by also writing one. I would wonder though if this would read smoother put into stanzas? Just a thought.

Thank you. That is a great idea. I did not intend for it to be so long, but it just kept going, and going, and . . . .
