Comment from Sandra du Plessis

Excellent

A very well-written Rispetto about Bernie that is like a little human boy dog, that pleases his mistress in whatever he does. His best purpose is to keep the feet warm.

Dogs are more love caring than cats. This is very well written with a smooth flow of words, making for a very interesting read. There is good imagery and descriptive scheme.

Awww, how sweet. Of course, he's not JUST a dog. I hate it when people say that.

I think you did a good job with the rispetto, although a couple of places were a little bumpy in the meter. Good rhyming, and a darling photo.

Good luck in the contest.

Did I tell you when you sent me a picture of Bernie and Howie, one of my cats, Opal, claimed for her own. I can't begin to figure out what she found to attract her. 'They' say cats can't see photo, but I beg to differ.

Hi, Yvonne,

Yes, you've told me about Opal's fascination with Bernie. That reminds me! Time to get pictures done this year.

This was a cute poem about your pup. It's funny how much love, companionship a furry baby can give. It's well-written, interesting and has a nice steady flow.

I truly liked this wonderfully written poem. It flowed so well and of course, a dog isn't merely a dog. Among other things he's a lifelong companion and friend. Best wishes in the Rhyming Poetry contest.

But he's good at keeping feet warm<

Certainly the best any woman can ask for. Add those adoring eyes and silent companionship - then heaven is a place with Bernie.

I love Bernie. This is a well constructed tribute to a deserving dog. I was impressed by the rhyme and meter. I've not got meter under my belt yet, but this one sounds good to me.
Good luck in the contest.

You do so well with different forms of poetry as well as your prose. I love the picture of Bernie and I can see why you wrote this Rispetto. (Is it also an Ode?)
Kudos to you.
