No, Don't Tickle Me

Comment from Jesse James Doty
Sighing with glee is an interesting turn of phrase to use in this humorous 5-7-5 poem. The tree, which is parched, sighs with glee. And so it goes...it rhymes well and gives a clear image of what is going on. I personally do not like to be tickled ever for any circumstances because of the nature of the cruel teasing that went on tirelessly in my childhood. So this resonates with me totally.
Excellent writing and use of the short style of poetry, so may you win the contest, my friend! I use the term 'friend' to add support to this wonderful offering.
Have a great day,
Jesse

Hello Carol...Jesse is the name, not Jake. That is okay though, at least it started with a 'J.'
Smiles, back at you. Have a wonderful Monday.

My apologies, Jesse... I knew your name...I am cross-eyed from doing 138 reviews today because I was gone.

138 reviews!!! Take a break, relax and unwind. Some folks spread their reviews over days and sometimes weeks. No worries, my friend!
Chill!

A fun one! Doubtless many have had that experience as children of uncontrollable laughing until ... disaster. Fun image. Well written. Good wishes for your entry.

That happens to a lot of kids. It's not funny when it happens, but they can't say he didn't give them a heads up. Picture perfect, laughter is good for the soul.

"No, Don't Tickle Me", is short, succinct and delightfully descriptive. This talented poet's work was a pleasure to both read and review. Good luck with the contest. Please let me know how you get on?

This is funny about a kid who is relieving himself at the tree among bushes. He got tickled. Haha. That's what he gets.
Well done and good luck in the contest.

Little boys are very cute, but not so big boys. But I think you've come up with a beauty here, these contests need a good narrative in only a few words, yours is great, well done, good luck, blessings Roy

Haha this is a fun one for that contest. Adding the tree at the end is fun too--not many things would be so happy to get peed on like a tree! Even flowers wouldn't be so happy; it would almost be a trap for anyone leaning in to smell them too! Good luck :)
