Hi :)
This is a fun entry for the contest.
The little guy has stolen my heart - he's too cute not to love!
I love the presentation and your syllable count is bang on.
Good Luck in the voting booth!
Best wishes, Debra :)

HELLO POET: I like this posting. It is EXTREMELY, profound and witty. One person's trash...is another person's treasure...And...one person's treasure is another person's trash...Sooo true. I see my face in place of your raccoon. Believe me...I can relate to this. Been there...done that. Took off the mask long time ago...due to compelling circumstances. Just being honest. Thank you for sharing. God bless you. Cordially: rhonnie69.

Hahahahaha. Now, this is VERY cute!! I guess even in the animal world, you've got to go with what you're given in life, eh? Good luck to you in the contest. I think this one has a very good chance of going all the way.

LOL!

Dear Anonymous Poet,

Who could resist that little face? Alas, he does tend to steal garbage more than hearts. Your little five-seven-five for the contest is well structured and indeed witty.

Thank you for sharing and good luck in the contest,

~Mustang Patty~

What a hoot! Too cute! Little guy out to loot! You did a great job with this. Clever and original. I wish you good luck in the contest. Your verse is perfect 5-7-5 and that picture steals the heart. It isn't easy to do something so cute with syllable restrictions, but you did it!!

I like this one. Actually, raccoons do steal my heart with that cursed bandit mask. I think that they are adorable. Those little trash eaters get me every time.
Good luck in the contest.

ha ha ! So true. I have had these creatures come right up on my front porch to steal my birdseed. And they are very bold or brave.
Excellent satori line.

Well done.
Blessings

Oops, that terrible thing of judging people by their outer imagery and naughty things that they do comes out in this poem. Good mix of ideas and emotions, enjoyed reading it.

I know this critter is a nuisance but I'm fascinated by raccoons. I think their masks are adorable and their antics are amazing. Your 5/7/5 poem describes this animal in the least amount of words possible.

    Thanks, seaglass. I agree about the pesky little critters, too cute for their own good.

That critter is so cute, but he does have a naughty glint in his eye. Oh well, if he's going to be branded a thief he might as well act as one. Your poem is very appealing.
