I enjoyed your poem, rhonnie. I like poems about space things. I really like how you used the correct prefix which each number as the kids progressed through the nights counting the stars. Your conclusion is something to think about.

Fifth night we counted a quintillion,
My brother I and him. )I and him sounds off--maybe
our count on a whim (if you want it to rhyme with the line above)

I know it is your call--just a suggestion or file 13=trash.
Thanks for sharing. Jan

Hi there, Jan: Thank you for your line: "our count on a whim." It fits perfectly. I've already edited it into my poem. It makes it much better. Again...thank you, Jan. Your assistance here is appreciated. God bless you and yours. Cordially: rhonnie69.

Wow , this poem took some dedication to math to write. Counting a billion stars? sounds a little far fetched to me. I guess that's why this is entered in the I Can't contest. Good luck.

This is a counting rhyme with a difference! I don't think I've ever come across one that deals with this particular number set before. A great expression of the infinity of outer space.
