I'm not scared of snakes but I don't think I'd actually pick them up. Lol. This was a very humorous poem and it was especially funny after reading your author notes. Every fisherman needs a Fearless woman like you behind them. Gretchen

Hi Gretchen, and LOL, I used to chase the boys with them when I was little. Isn't that horrible? Haha.
But anyway they are just MN garden snakes so they aren't harmful, but all the men in my husband's family were afraid of snakes.
He is brave otherwise, especially when I see a spider that I hate. Then I am not so brave.
Thanks for your fun review and comments, my friend. Love, Debi

moving and funny poem about your husband's fear of snakes and your wry acceptance of snakes. Love the image of encountering snakes on the boat by the lake

Comment from June Sargent
My husband loves to fish and is not afraid of snakes. Neither are my son or grandsons. They have two pet snakes. Me, on the other hand, would give snakes a wide berth! I enjoyed this quatern!

Comment from John Ciarmello
Aww, poor man! He probably rode around with those snakes for quite a while and never noticed. This is fun and a hoot to see what we grown men are afraid of! Spiders are mine! EEK!
Best, JohnC

Comment from Ric Myworld
Yum, yum, I love those Walleye. Culver's restaurants serve it up until Easter every year, and I eat it about three days a week, while they have it. I can picture you throwing snakes. I used to hide five or six inside my shirt on the way home from school, and scare everyone. Thanks for sharing.

Hi Debi. I like your poem. It was very descriptive. I am afraid of snakes. I saw 4 black snakes at our house last summer. The picture goes nicely with your poem. Great job.

Comment from davisr (Rhonda)
A great job on your poem, Debi!!! It was so well crafted and fun. My father had no fear of snakes, either. Like you, he grew up killing snakes by hand. I don't have a huge fear, but I don't pick them up, either.
That was too funny a story not to share. I'm glad you did, and in such a fancy and well written way!
Much love,
Rhonda

I happen to agree with your husband. I don't do snakes. Once, I was picking strawberries and a snake crawled across my hand. I never went back to that strawberry patch. The snake can have the strawberries. Your poem was fun to read.

Comment from Pam Lonsdale
Who needs a hoe or rake when they have Debi? I no longer run from snakes (we get black and rat snakes in my yard), but I don't think I'd pick one up. When you grow up handling them though . . .
This was a fun poem and I liked the image and the font that you used.

-Nice artwork and presentation, Debi.
-I'm with your husband; I don't like snakes either!
-You did a good job with the form and tell a good story.
-Effective imagery, rhyme, and repeating line.
-I guess you didn't have that delicious fish dinner!
-Thanks for sharing everything and have a good weekend.
-Maybe there will still be some fish for dinner without
the snakes in the boat!

You are very welcome for the review, Debi, and thanks for sharing in your reply. I don't like snakes, but we try to be kind to spiders; they are good for getting annoying bugs-outside of course!
-
Lol, that's why I dont like them to kill the snakes because snakes eat insects too.
-
I didn't know that and now I understand. But I'll still let you take care of the snakes!
