Crawl Poem by Tonelius Oliver

Very nice idea - true that many parents are really afraid to see their babies walk before crawl since, i suppose, when they were babies they crawl before walk

I was one who walked and never crawled. The smart ones do this. Good observation-nicely written. Violet

Some babies are advanced, and don't follow the rule of thumb. They are on their way to somewhere else, I suppose. It is important that babies crawl for their sense of balance and development. But as far as long term problems if they don't crawl? Don't have any statisticts on that. Interesting poem - somewhat loose in structure, but then who said you had to follow the book? Linda

It is really a freak action indeed. My grandson, Vijay, when he was a baby (now 8 years old) missed this crawling period and he straightaway walked, which threw a surprise to all of us. A nice poem to read.

I like this poem alot...I'm not one for leaving comments normally so good job. I tend to crawl when it comes to writing poetry.

For a baby to walk especially since he/she just got out of the oven less than 6 months ago There was no crawlspace superb great 10+++++++++++++++++

What would their relatives think? It's completely unnatural For a baby to walk especially since he/she just got out of the oven less than 6 months ago There was no crawlspace great write great 10++++++++++++++++++++++++

heehee. i liked this one, it kind of reminded me of my cousin Hannah who was put on all fours by her mom when she was walking before crawling! .... how crazy!

heh, I like this one. I walked before I crawled. And now that I am older, I prefer to crawl around the house rather than walk like a 'Big girl' should. Oh well, I guess I'm backwards. We spend our childhood trying to get out of diapers, only to grow up and get back in them...

a good poem as it is one which could become a debate, good start of a conversation and it has good meaning and makes great sense i like it...its one to think about.
