Hi Jannypan

An excellent counting poem for Brooke. I'm sure she will love it. Not long as your poem is engaging as it unfolds. Great presentation to complement your poem. Hugs - Lovi xoxo

As I was reading this beautifully penned poem, before I got to the author's note, I knew it was for Brooke. You did an excellent job in the penning of this poem in her honor.. Excellent rhyming and rhythm and an enjoyable read. I know she will enjoy it. Thanks for sharing/ Portia

A really enjoyable read, I like the format, which I don't think I've come across before (I am new to the site). I like the fact that it can be read simply as a fun story, or can be delved into for deeper meanings for our own lives. Neat conclusion as well, I never thought I'd feel sorry for a rock :)

Very nice tribute poem, so many people on this site miss her numerous postings and send her warm get well wishes. Yes, her counting poems were fun, too. This is well written with excellent rhyming and imagery. Most enjoyable. Faye

    Thank you for your time reading and reviewing my poem. I like counting poems, I always enjoyed Brooke's, but never wrote any. Sad that her illness prompted me to write some. However, I hope she gets a smile from my poems.

This is counting poem tells a story about rocks. It starts off with ten and then dwindles down to one, which gets shattered:
sadly sitting in pieces in the backyard
and wondering why its life is so hard
Perhaps it's comparable with some humans' lives, but hopefully not Brooke's.
It is preferable to think of the shattered fragments of rock as being the many wonderful poems Brooke wrote, and they have now become spread out as they continue their journey inside the life-cycle of creation.

Such a unique poem, it is fabulous and also thought provoking.

To me it makes me think of how while hikers are well meaning, they can cause erosion (not sure if that is right word) by moving the foundations of the hill.
Am I crazy?

    No, you are so right. Thank you for reading & reviewing my poem. Yes, hikers disturb the rocks. My poem is just a fun poem not to be compared to Brooke's life. But you are right about the erosion thing. Thanks again, Jan

Brooke will love this, as she liked to do the counting poems. You've carried this off really well, jannypan. A lively presentation, and I enjoyed the stories of what happened to each of the rocks. Rockslides and getting stuffed in a hiker's sack were just some of the misfortunes. Excellent rhyme, and a reminder of the playful way Brooke has with words. judi

some died naturally
some trying to be kids
one wanted to be something else
one was tricked
by men who cannot rest

all that dies is gold
all that think they won't are fool's
at the end you're left alone
no matter how you're born
