Yorkshire terriers are so cute. You did a good job with your writing and your
painting. I can imagine this dog actually standing still for a picture.

Keep writing

This was pretty good. I was wondering though what type of camera takes pictures like that? Sorry to hear about your sisters hubby. Lot of people dropping to the big C. A few in my family.

    Hi Yvon. I painted Pepper from a photo of her that my sister took. So, she posed for the camera and then I painted from the photo. Thank you for your lovely review

You have made excellent use every word in this concise, descriptive
poem. I have seen dogs and cats smile and pose for the camera--
so adorable! Good use of alliteration.

P-letter alliterations are peppered throughout your Tanka verse. Good job! Not absolutely sure if either or both terrier or yorkie should be capitalized. For some reason I think Yorkie should be. You did capitalize it in your notes.

Your text complements your painting.

Best wishes in this entry Pam!

    Hi Mark. True, it is
    Normally capitalized. But, capitalization is frowned upon in tankas only proper nouns should be capitalized. Thank you for a truly wonderful review

This tanka, Pepper Smiles, looks good and captures the friendly, family pooch in an oil painting that belies how still a yorkie can be.

I was watching the judging at Cruftd (the famous dog show) the other night and the commentator commented on several breeds that appeared to smile. My dea spaniel, Penny, always looks so worried but I don't think she is really.

    Lol, Jim. My cat is always bright eyed. Pepper is so cute that we all spoil her. Thanks for the great review

Hi Pam, Pepper has quite the silly little grin! Does he really look like that or is that a little bit exaggerated? His Tanka is sweet. I'm glad your sister likes her puppy, even though she didn't really like dogs. :)

    Hi
    Susan. I did give each side of her lips an upward curve. Hehe. My sister loves the painting. Thank you for a truly lovely review

A very well-written Tanka about Pepper the small Yorkshire Terrier which poses for a photo with a wide smile. A very beautiful painting of Pepper also to accompany your Tanka.
