    thank you so much for stopping by to read about my 'pups,' Howie and Bernie. Though they are four and two years old respectively, they are very much my furry kids. They are a constant source of inspiration and the center of a lot of my writing.

Aww... so cute, I like your poem about puppies. They are so cute. Your poem's flow and rhythm is good and the rhyme keeps up with the scheme well. Good job!

I must say your pups are adorable (even though I'm a cat person).

It sounds as if they have you wrapped around their finger - I mean, paw (their whims dictate it all). You did a good job with this poetry form.

    thank you so much for stopping by to read and review. Yes, my furry children are far more spoiled than my kids ever were. They DO have me wrapped up in their wants and needs.

What a fun, fast paced piece of poetry you have delivered. Not sure I've liked this style much in the past, but you have certainly brought it to life my friend. Great rhythm.
God bless!

    Hey Steve; nice to see you again. I'm glad you enjoyed the poem. It was fun and challenging to write, but it made my day when I got it to turn out right,

I believe this is the first poem written in a Monchielle format that I've ever had the pleasure of reading, Patty.
I really enjoyed the fast-paced rhythm, and the fact that it's rhymed poetry, of course.
Cute puppies, and a cute poem to match.
Thanks for sharing, and have a lovely weekend.
~Dean :)

    Hi Dean; I think Sandra du Plessis(sp?) shared a Monchielle recently. (I stole the form requirements from her author's notes.) I'm glad you enjoyed it and I'm happy to read your positive review,

    Oh?
    I hadn't read Sandra's yet, I'll have to look into that.
    Thanks for the tip, and you are very welcome, Patty.

It's a nice use of this form, I think the upbeat, scampering rhythm of the meter was well suited to this subject, and you had some nice whimsical images. the last line really nailed it. That was perfect. Dogs can be a trial sometimes. They have their own ideas about what shoes and socks are for. Found that out with my dog years ago. Sometimes you need to sit back and enjoy a good laugh estory

    Hi estory; thank you for stopping by to read and review. Thank goodness the boys are well past the age of chewing everything in sight, but I do still have to protect my socks. If they're on the ground, they're fair game - according to the dogs. I appreciate your warm words of encouragement. I'm glad you enjoyed the poem,

A lovely poem about your lovely dogs. It's so long since my dog was a pup, but I still remember what she was like. She chewed everything in sight that was black, anything that was a different colour was safe. Your poem is well written follows all the rules and is easy to read and understand. The picture is simply delightful.
Best wishes.

    Hi; my fuzzy boys are two and four, but since they're little dogs, I always refer to them as pups. They certainly keep me on my toes. I appreciate your kind words and warm review,

Come on friend, sooner or later... They all eat shoes, ha ha. They look as mischievous as they do cute. Your Monchielle is fun and puppy loving write which will have the dog lovers hook line and sinker. Well done!!

    thank you so much for stopping by to read and review. I told the boys you said they would eventually eat shoes. They looked horrified! I'm so glad you liked this poem. Have a great weekend,

A lovely Monchielle about your two dogs, you can really feel the love you have for them in your words.
Flowed beautifully throughout and what a smashing photo to accompany.
Have a lovely evening

Haha, too cute! Fun poem flows well and creates a cheerful mood of happy bedlam. The only suggestion I could make is maybe plural noses and faces on the second line. But it's poetry, so I never know what's proper, LOL. All the best.

    thank you so much for your thoughtful review. Noses and faces would have thrown the syllable count off. The requirements of the poetic form drove me crazy!

    You're welcome. I figured syllable count was responsible. In that case, doubly well done!!!
