Nice metaphor and a fine 5-7-5 format. I like the satori-esque closing line. Good word economy. Also, a nice presentation. Good consonance of R and S.

Fine work. No nits.

Warmly, rd

Cherries are so beautiful, both to look at and to eat, that they are like gemstones. You capture your joy very well with this 5-7-5. I wish you well in the contest. Warm regards, Wendy.

I believe you really penned this 5-7-5 poem. All the syllables are right on point, the words of thoughts clearly are in line and comes together making me really wanting to go out and buy me some cherries. Excellent job, artwork picture perfect. Thanks for sharing and best wishes in the contest.

    Thank you for your fine review and contest well wishes. I am still taken aback by how the sight of the first cherries of the season at the farmer's market inspired me to compose this poem in my head before I even ate one. Alas, I am almost out of the cherries I bought but I look forward to Saturday's market.

What more can be said other than delicious. Such pleasure eating the first fruits of the season. Love cherries myself, and I can't wait for them to become available here. A well done 5-7-5. Good luck in the contest...

Beautiful description & great 5-7-5. The words themselves paint a clear picture, but the artwork adds to the allure. Wish you the best!

Such a delicious 5-7-5 gem of a tiny poem you've written! I could almost taste the juicy red cherries, and I thought your word choices were excellent. Gems they are, small treasures to be prized for their beauty as well as their wonderful taste. This is so descriptive and the syllable count is perfect, of course. I think it should do quite well in the contest.

Beautiful picture of cherries, they look delicious. Good information told about the cherries in such few words. Seems the first crop is always the best of the season. Good job of telling about this delicious fruit.

Excellent Poem! The author's words are creative, appealing,
and descriptive. The artwork is perfect as I will look for cherries when I go shopping tomorrow. The words and artwork for this poem complimented the theme well.

I love fresh cherries too. Nothing like fresh cherries for a good and healthy dessert. Your poem says it like it is. Rubies and gemstones. A good comparison. Drew

The picture is yummy!
The verse has me hungry for the fruit described--
It is a gift that a fruit can taste like a season, and a season
can taste like a fruit:)

Great entry in the contest!
