Hi,
I smiled as I read this well written, piece of biographical poetry, giving us a glimpse of your past...I can only imagine how that has effected your love of those red strawberries.
The same love of tomatoes left me the very firs time I saw large white worms upon my tomato plants, I've seen them over and over again whenever I look at a tomato, any tomato, and those large white worms appear (in my head )...Ugh, make me hesitant to eat any.
Funny how certain things effect us for such a long time... but now that I think about it, maybe it isn't so funny after all...LoL..
Thanks for sharing this with us, it was something I could surely identify with..and you presented it to us so well...that picture made me think those ugly white worms...(ugh)...
Good luck in the contest.
Warmly,
Victoria

Thanks for the understanding review, Victoria (I'm not Gloria, though, but I've never received a bigger compliment in my life!! I'll love you forever for that!)
I feel the same way about corn on the cob. One time, I began to shuck one, and there was a big, fat horned caterpillar --the kind with the horizontal RINGS up and down its body? I have never touched that vegetable since, and for the same reason as you and your wormy tomatoes --the image that cannot be unseen.
I love this review. Thank you very much.

This meets the contest requirements splendidly. I enjoyed the clever way in which you approached this - no more berries due to a revulsion of a berry thief LOL. Good luck in the voting and thank you very much for sharing it.

I like the artwork you choose to go with your poem,which is a perfect match
you captured my attention from the first line to the last
and like you I hate rodents also. Even though chipmunks cute, the is related to the rodent family

As one of my other reviewers put it, Misscookie, a chipmunk is "a rat with a racing stripe."
Thank you for this very nice --and validating!-- review. I appreciate it.

Comment from Patty Palmer
What a plus to move into a home with a ready made garden of berries. But then to find a squirrel eating from the same vine was very upsetting because this owner doesn't even like squirrels and makes him sick to see they've been eating those same berries was more than he could handle. But they don't eat much!!!

You're right about that, Patricia; they don't each much. But I think it was seeing him SITTING on the nearby ones that just made it unbearable.
Thanks for a terrific review. I do appreciate it very much.

Comment from Dolly'sPoems
They are all God's creatures and are striving to survive like the rest of us and it will be hard to eradicate your garden of them without harming other wild-life. Your poem, however, is gentle and warm but your message is loud and clear, good luck with the contest, love Dolly x

I haven't ever tried to eradicate him --just the THOUGHT of him from my mind! Plus I let that creature G-d made have alllllllllll those berries, Dolly. He is WELCOME to them now!! I never pilfer even ONE!
Thanks for the nice review, and the well-wishes for the contest, as well. Very much appreciated.

This poem is well-written and humorous. Foods we eat that we think are clean and healthful may have been tampered with--or worse--by some
nasty little creature.

Comment from LisaMay
This will make people think you are an animal-hating, selfish non-sharing meanie who doesn't know how to wash strawberries and who cuts off her nose to spite her face. You should appreciate that those wee cuties could possibly be brilliant at playing the piano. But then, you did casually mention about hating rodents. I know what NOT to get you for christmas.

See, it's the "wee" part that concerned me! I couldn't possibly wash those berries enough!
Get me industrially cleaned strawberries for Christmas. (I won't even be insulted that you chose that holiday over Chanukkah.) xo

It didn't sound right to call them 'poo cuties'. Sorry about my cultural/religious slip... I keep forgetting you are Jewish, everyone's the same to me unless they are murderers and/or rapists or interfere with children or rob little old ladies or kick cats or pick their noses (in no particular order of importance: capital punishment to all.)

Thank gawd you're that level of selective!!

You did a good job with the contest prompt, Mystery Author. I enjoyed reading your poem. Your lines flow smoothly with a good little story. I can understand why you no longer eat those berries. Thanks for sharing and best wishes. Jan

Thanks for that validating assessment of my lack of desire for any further rodentberries!! And thanks for the nice review of the poem, itself, too! I appreciate BOTH!
Comment from Sandra du Plessis
A very well-written poem about little bird who discovered the strawberries she enjoyed so much from the garden was shared by the squirrel ando she was so disgusted she never eat strawberries again.

Am I the bird? Because I'm not a bird. And it was a chipmunk, not a squirrel. But you're right about the being disgusted and not eating any more strawberries from the garden where I saw the chipmunk having breakfast.
Comment from James W. Reynolds
This is a funny and entertaining poem, though I am not so sure that I would be laughing if it happened to me. The rhymes are light-hearted and serve the poem well. It tells a good story.
