I:
10,9, counting is fun,
8, 7, after ten is eleven,
6, 5, you can survive,
4, 3, reading is free,
2, 1, let it shine.
II:
10, 9, walk and run,
8, 7, odd and even,
6, 5, swimming and dive,
4, 3, oppose and agree,
2, 1, the moon and the sun.
III:
10, 9, draw a line,
8, 7, dream about Heaven,
6, 5, bliss will arrive,
4, 3, plant a tree,
2, 1, everything is fine.
IV:
10, 9, hot cross bun,
8, 7, baked in the oven,
6, 5, a fork and a knife,
4, 3, charge No fee,
2, 1, a job well done.
V:
10, 9, praise the Divine,
8, 7, smile often,
6, 5, ready to drive,
4, 3, wait and see,
2, 1, celebrate with wine.
VI:
10, 9, I am your fan,
8, 7, my name is Steven,
6, 5, do high five,
4, 3, obtain a degree,
2, 1, let the healing begin.

Great rhyming poem with a story within. Well done, Jingle!

We seem to be circling each other; I visited Poets United from your list of writing communities, and then I saw a poem in the list with a title that matches a line in one of my poems (taken from a song by blues master E.G. Kight). And then I learned it was a piece written by you. What a small world.
I love your counting rhythm; it works so well for your piece!
many thanks…
the world is small,
I don’t know which poem u refer to,
