When Watermelon Had Seeds is a nostalgic, insightful poetry collection that moves from playful memories to poignant social commentary and even includes a whimsical fable about cats and dogs. I especially enjoyed how the poems took me from laughter to contemplation within just a few pages—“Angel Food” made me chuckle, while “Forget Me Not” brought genuine emotion. It feels like flipping through a scrapbook of life, with clever wordplay, sharp wit, and heart to spare.

Whoa baby, Edmond Bruneau took me on a poetry rollercoaster—from spitting watermelon seeds to political sass and one very suspicious parrot tattoo. 😂 This book is like your eccentric uncle’s memory box: full of oddball treasures, hard truths, and unexpected giggles. I couldn’t stop flipping the pages—I mean, there’s even a “missing” Mother Goose story about cats and dogs going to WAR. 📚🐶🐱 If poetry ever felt stuffy to you, this book rips the doily right off it.

Poetry with Pits, Punchlines & Perfectly Timed Zingers!

When Watermelon Had Seeds is a juicy, witty, and unexpectedly sharp collection of poetry and musings that had me giggling, nodding, and questioning society—all before I got to the part about why dogs hate cats! 🐾📜😂
