Hi Annie. I enjoyed reading your "beet" topic poem for the club. The image will load automatically when you post your poem even though you may not see it when you go into the Picture This club page to post it. Marilyn

Your well-written, vividly descriptive, pull-no-punches poem tells exactly how you feel about beets. I feel that way about liver! There's really no logical way of accounting for what we do and do not like.

You have a strong steady beat and a smooth flow of rhyming words. I like how you do not like beets and it comes across clearly, how much you dislike them. You have a vivid use of words.

    I really do like beets. Had to think of the pea when writing this as they are the vegetable that I can't eat. This was a challenge for sure. Thank you so much for reviewing this post.

Awww. You don't like beets? I love them, Harvard, Pickled, sliced, diced, anyway you serve em up. I even like them cold rather than warmed up. So there. LOL Very interesting poem, Annie. Time to harvest them. LOL Bob

    I really do like beets but can only eat them pickled. Had to think of the pea when writing this as they are the vegetable that I can't eat. This was a challenge for sure. Thank you so much for reviewing this post.

I've always been fascinated by what people like regarding food, I love beetroot, (I believe it's great heart food.) but my wife won't touch, so consequently we rarely eat it. This is a great interpretation of this week's picture this post, Annie, well dine, blessings, Roy

Such a pity that you don't like beets. They are one of the most nutritious vegetables. They have a ton of potassium in them which really helps your heart. The poem is well done and with the picture is a very nice presentation.

    What is funny is I can't even tolerate the color red. Thank you for reviewing. I was surprised at the amount of reviewers that stated they do like them. Stay well and safe these days.

A very well-written poem about bets that you don't like to eat. We do not all live to eat the same things that is what makes us all unique. I love beet and it places iron in my blood.

I like how the tone changes from one stanza to the other. At first the speaker sounds like they are praising the beet. The reader who likes beets would be drawn in to enjoy the little account. Then suddenly the truth comes out. This will draw in another reader who had been sitting back. Finally another, who dislikes beets. Clever.

I have those same sentiments about broccoli Annie. Great job describing the reprehensible feelings you have towards beets and your general repulsion towards them being so strong that if you ever saw one you would have to stop yourself from barfing over your kitchen table. Well done.
