This is a wonderful Tanka. The story in your notes just amplifies the story of this loving dog and what it did for your friend, Lucia. Well written and meaningful!!

This is a lovely remembrance of a true friend and companion. Dogs truly seem to understand more than we give them credit for. They have a great capacity for love without blame and selfless support without shaming you.
Good luck in the contest

    Thanks for taking time off to read and review my wee poem.

    Yes dogs have big hearts and are always ready to give a helping paw.

    They can sense when we are sad , depressed and they snuggle up

    .. they make us feel needed and important

    When they die they leave a void which we , in time, fill with all the happy memories made over the years with them

    Keep safe !

I enjoyed reading your well written poem. Your story flows well with a meaningful message. You followed the contest rules in writing your Tanka and you used good alliteration. Best wishes!

Such an insightful poem. So beautiful, and yes, they understand more than we can ever know, and they give their all. A very beautiful Tanka, very moving. Sending my good wishes for its success.

This work has reached the exceptional level

Great post explaining dogs are not just dogs. I lost my boy of 16 yrs and I still have a hole in my heart. Looking after ageing parents is a full-time- job, very wearing physically and emotionally. Dogs and cats understand us better than we do them. Well done. K XX

    I m sorry for your loss .. ( sigh)

    Glad you enjoyed the tribute and thank you for the extra shiny star!

    Shadow was a ray of sunshine in Lucia s life.

    Caring for her parents is tough and it has taken a toll on her well-being but Shadow had a special gift in making her feel better.

    Best wishes for a peaceful weekend !



    At night now her bed is empty ..she misses his warm presence.
