What a nice twist at the end! The moral seems to be that progress can only =come through agreement and when one lingers to long, opportunities sink into the sea. Well done in all ways...Dennis

Comment from Bryan G
A nice poem with a nice message. If I understand it right this a story of good intentions. There are many stories like this in the Bible. It is easy to start something but then end up stuck in the harbor with a ship rotting beneath us. It puts me in mind of the parable of the seeds in the new testament. At any rate, I enjoyed your poem very much.

Great story to prove that cooperation is far better than clinging to hard-held opinions. What a cute story to go with a cute picture. Sawyer's friend looks like a happy little fellow. Good luck in the contest, Brooke.

Ah, Brooke, a great story. Reminds me congress. But I can't see a Zerubbabel getting elected--not enough room on a bumpersticker. Smart using Zee and Tee-instant rhymes. Not that you need tricks.
Are you entering early for the next story/poem contest? Or have I Rip Van Winkled?
Peace, Lee
The West is located
so far from the East,
--Brooke this is marvelously incomprehesible line. So funny.

Yep, this is several months early for the upcoming contest. I didn't manage to tie for third in the one that just ended. This is just to let folks know I'm still here. LOL Thanks so much, Lee :-) brooke

I wanted to enter that contest, Brooke, but came up dry. I never do well in that contest anyway. Your entry was one among a few I was surprised not to see cited.
You've set the bar high, my friend, but I have months to dawdle before I panic and write something stupid.
Good luck, Doll. As soon as my rhyming hat comes back from the cleaners . . . girl, you are in trouble!

You're one of the few people I wouldn't mind losing to :-) I will not say any more lest I get myself in trouble :-)

Aw, c'mon, let's get in trouble. My dad says I can borrow the car tonight!

LOL - I so wish I had known you back then :-)

Hello Brooke,
It's a lovely piece of Children Poetry with equally lovely rhyming scheme and lively imagery containing story with a moral.
Wording is simple having pleasant flow.
Its last stanza is particularly noteworthy.
Excellent!
