You make my day with your heartwarming reviews, Karyn. Thanks so much!
Comment from w.j.debi
There is a lot of joy coming through in this poem. How fun to imagine sailing away in a small boat with a dog along. Of course, the tub is safer than the ocean, but so imaginative to believe otherwise.

Oh this is so perfect . You even made the piece rhyme which is difficult to do and still have the flow.
Love the light and lively bathtub adventure with his dog.

So cute. Clever acrostic with a "Seussiness" to it. The photo is priceless. You have captured the imagination of a child in your charming work. Light and loveable. Thank you for sharing your work.

Comment from I am Cat
While usually not a fan of acrostics because they don't always make sense and Can seem forced to fit the form, this is seamless and priceless!
I absolutely love the photo of Pablito and Baby in the bath and the fun acrostic is lovely sweet icing.
We have tons of photos of our own of our kids with our schnauzers... in the crib, bassinet... but I don't think we have one in the bath!
I love it!
Great job and I hope you win!

Comment from BeasPeas
Your granddaughter and Pablito are both cute as can be. Your poem is a joyful and humorous acrostic. I particularly like the first four lines:
"There's a dog in my bath. I'm not sure why!
He's my very best friend and so I'll try
Especially hard to balance the boat
Reminding myself we must stay afloat"

This is a fun acrostic poem which is an entire sentence! What a delightful thing for a little one to enjoy the company of a faithful canine friend!

Comment from Maureen's Pen
Dear Tony, this is a delightful poem and so full of wonderful imagery. A lovely sing song effect when read aloud - I absolutely loved it.
Perfectly formed acrostic, my friend. I wish you best of luck in the contest.
Thanks for sharing.

Tony,
What a fun acrostic. Great job on its style. I really like it when these poems are more than just a list of one word per line 'things'. Yours tells a fun story & makes readers forget that it is an acrostic. I love the rhyme & the art choice--ok picture. Good job & thanks for sharing.
Best wishes in the contest. I believe this should finish high. Jan
