Today I just watched the movie Benji. I could not help to think about this movie when reading your poem. Your poem expresses the feeling of quitting. The dog found a home in your poem; that in itself was an accomplishment.

You creatively used the three required words for the contest, but you also created a captivating story in a poem. It included drama, humor, and suspense. My favorite lines were:
They held up a steak, just out of his reach,
thinking he would go crazy, but no.
He just laid down, when he knew what was up,
refusing to put on a show.

Best wishes in the contest.

Dogs who can't act. LoL funny

Excellent entry for the 3 Words In A Poem writing prompt contest. Good composition with the required words. Yours is my favorite thus far. Good luck in the contest.

I am glad your poem had a happy ending - I feared what the director might do. Well done with the smooth rhyming and rhythm and metre, and on giving a whole story in a poem. Best wishes fro your entry.

This is such a funny and cute story. I like that you made the pit bull a loveable fur ball! There is so much stigma surrounding this breed and they are the sweetest dogs!

I love it. You have given us a new look at Pits. There are some who live up to their hype, but others, like this one, who are sweet and great. My niece had several. Glad that Bentley found a good home!
Good job!

I enjoyed your story poem, where you integrated the required words well.
That Pitt Bull pooch, Bentley, showed a lot of common sense by not cooperating with the horror genre, and look where it got him - a nice home and a kind companion in Joe.

For Bentley the Pit Bull, it all ended will, (ended well??)
at his new owners feet. (add apostrophe: owner's)

ThisIs a very uplifting poem. The description of how the film makers made this friendly dog look vicious is really amusing. I love a story with a happy ending.

The poem meets the requirements. The flow is good. The rhymes work. The poem stays on point. The images are defined.

Suggestion:

My main suggestion is to use a smaller font or shorten the lines to fit without line wrapping. A line being split into two makes the reading more jagged and the rhyme scheme then seems to be off.

Thanks for a good read.
