good advice but how to follow at times.
Plan what you will eat.
Not too salty, not too sweet.
Choose fruit...a great treat.
fruit is good but sometimes we want and crave things that are not good for us like junk food burgers. or another drink of beer or my favorite a second cup of coffee

Hi Jake, My favorite also is a second cup of coffee (every morning). My poem is a personal desire, not quite meant to be advice for all to follow. By the way, burgers are good for you. Thanks for your comments and review. I truly appreciate it.

Hi Dolly, I really appreciate your review and comments. Actually, I'm a veggie person but eat fruit occasionally. I need to listen to my own poem. There's such a variety of fruit. Thanks again for stopping by.

A beautiful photo which makes us want to eat in a healthy way! The poem is well-written, and reflects truth. If we plan, we will make responsible choices. Best wishes for the contest.

Thank you for this encouraging review and evaluation. There are so many tempting and delicious, but unhealthy choices available that it is hard to always choose wisely. Thank you for reading my poem and for your wishes for the contest.

I have been on this intermittent fast for the last six months and have lost 60 lbs. Staying away from sweets and eating more fruit. A poem I can relate to.

Congratulations to you for your weight loss success. It is not easy. I'm a member of a weight loss group and struggle to maintain my weight. Thank you for your review and comments.

I enjoyed this poem. I really should plan more what I "should" eat! Nicely flowing and the added rhyming adds to the eating well advice being kept at a friendly, more palatable level for those needing to follow it!

Hi Lori Sue, Thank you for your review and comments. I write down (track) what I eat in order to maintain my weight. That's where this poem came from. (I needed the reminder). Thanks again for stopping by, and for your generous evaluation.
Comment from Jasmine Girl
I entered this contest a while ago.
I like fruit, too. Plan for a holiday meal? Some veggie would be good. Nowadays, there are so many things one can't eat, especially the cookies and candies. What's left for the holiday?
Well done.

Thank you Lisa for your review. I appreciate it coming from a real poet. I'm a veggie person but I eat fruit occasionally. I don't know what I'll do for the holidays. Anyway, thanks for your encouraging comments.

I'm not a expert or a real poet. I'm a software and hardware engineer but really like writing. I'm getting ready to retire and have been able to write almost full time this year. I'm also a novelist and have finished a second book recently. Poetry is new for me but I really enjoy it. Gypsy Blue Rose is an expert Haiku person.
Comment from Cynthia Adams1
I like fruit a lot and I don't have any problem with diabetes but if I'm not mistaken, some fruits have a really large amount of sugar. I know some fruits are really healthy though.
The artwork is nice and fits your poem well.
If possible, it would be good to make the type quite a bit bigger. I've been told over and over again that contest judges and people with less than 20-20 vision don't like to read small type and that some readers may skip reading a poem altogether if it is too hard to read due to small type.

Hi Cynthia, Thanks for the suggestion to increase the size of the font. I've already made the change, and will keep this in mind in the future.
Some fruit has a lot of sugar, but at least you get some nutrients that you won't find in cookies or candy. Thanks for your encouraging review and evaluation.

The food you choose should be an enhancement and the fruit displayed is just that. So your presentation is chock full of good advice and a beautiful piece of art. Who wouldn't want to eat this?

Thank you for your review and kind comments. It took me a long time to find that art work. I appreciate you reading this poem.
Comment from estory
We should use this as an advertisement in the produce aisle of our store. I think it really spells it out in a nice, upbeat, jingle of a way. Watch that artificial sweetener and all the salt. Nothing like natural food. I found that out the hard way myself. estory

I stopped eating sugar when I discovered artificial sweetener. Now, I need to reduce that. Thanks for your review, comments and evaluation.
