This was so cute I just had to review it. I love both the picture and the poem. I think we have all been there. First is the invitation, then comes the inspiration and then you close with the irrigation. I loved it. Embrace the Love from Above.

This 5-7-5, No, Don't Tickle Me, has the right set up and seems to find a poor lad facing an assault while in a vulnerable state. Tee Hee.

This brought a smile to my face, which was the purpose of the contest. The expression on the cartoon boy's face is priceless, and your poem is ekphrastically perfect, describing exactly what he might be thinking. Well done.

This type of scenario happens way too often; why don't they pull up their pants? To tickle someone could lead too a police report and probably an overnight stay behind bars.

Ha! ha! Amusing 5-7-5 poem indeed. The third satori line is superbly crafted Reminded me of my boyhood days. I love the accompanying cute looking pic too. Good luck in the contest!

I enjoyed this little 5-7-5 poem very much. It did indeed bring a smile to my face, and the full line end rhymes were a wonderful bonus. Skillful writing in my opinion.

The poem fits the rules of the prompt. Knowing he pees when he gets tickled he turns around and pees on the tree. Guys can do that with that handy gadget they have. LOL
Good luck with the contest!

I had a little giggle at his piece. I can see this all going down. Little kids have a harder time holding it when they are tickled. The tree sighing with glee leads me to believe it has been a hot summer with little rain.

No, Don't Tickle Me

Interesting poem entry for the Just for Fun (5-7-5) writing prompt. Good syllables count. The connection between lines can be improved. Now it sounds like a list of three separate phrases.

What I mean...

if you tickle me

I'll yell, "Stop before I pee"--

parched tree sighs with glee

Nice ending. Good luck in the contest.

Hahaha... yes I laughed. Very clever and cute poem and a great entry for this contest. The picture you chose to illustrate it is perfect too. A cute little story told in three lines and all three rhyme too. Well done and I wish you much luck in the contest. MM
