Carolyn Devonshire Poet Limerick

Notes About The Poem

Blossom's Christmas Fear

On dogs phony antlers are tied
So unhappy Blossom will hide
     When she sees them coming
     She’d rather go slumming
At landfills she spends the Yuletide

And she’s not alone in her fear
Surrounded by many a peer
     Midst trash each dog cowers
     On ice in snow showers      
Refusing to dress like reindeer

Jan Allison December 17, 2018 at 4:35 PM I hate to see pets dressed up to suit their owners whims, I personally would have loved to see this well written poem place higher:-) hugs jan xx Carolyn Devonshire December 17, 2018 at 5:04 PM Guess it was more of a message poem, Jan.

Tania Kitchin December 17, 2018 at 4:33 PM Carolyn, this was very cute, I have thought of getting antlers for my dog, congratulations on your placement!

Vladislav Raven December 15, 2018 at 7:38 PM Hi Carolyn, I have to agree with Connie, that poor doggie is adorable. Know wonder the dogs are hiding. I love the content of this limerick. A well written piece Carolyn. Have a wonderful weekend. Hugs....Mike. XX

Michelle Faulkner December 9, 2018 at 7:03 PM This is such a clever idea for the contest - the picture is priceless! Best of luck! Carolyn Devonshire December 10, 2018 at 9:26 AM Thanks, Michelle. I'll check your page.

Constance La France December 9, 2018 at 11:53 AM Carolyn this is delightful, loved it, best of luck in the contest but a winner to me. I got my Snuggles cat a christmas outfit and when I put it on her she just slings along the floor, I have no idea how I am going to get a descent picture of her for Christmas ! Carolyn Devonshire December 9, 2018 at 11:55 AM The only times I ever took good photos of my cats was when they were sleeping. As you know, they have minds of their own :)

Silent One December 9, 2018 at 7:17 AM I am most pets would hate it... Two great limericks Carolyn..

Paul Callus December 9, 2018 at 3:43 AM I am glad you pointed this out, Carolyn. Many pets are 'forced' to put up with our whims, just because they are too loving and adorable to protest and break our hearts! We might think they look cute....they don't!! Hugs // paul

Tom Cunningham December 9, 2018 at 2:36 AM Poor Blossom, it wouldnt have done his street cred any good lol. Good luck. Tom.

Jennifer Proxenos December 9, 2018 at 12:19 AM Oh Carolyn, lol,lol! This poem is definitely a winner, I loved it, poor doggy Excellent and a great write! Lots of hugs, Jennifer. Carolyn Devonshire December 9, 2018 at 1:02 AM Thanks, Jennifer. I never did understand why people bought "outfits" for their dogs, but when doggy antlers came out I wondered how their owners got them to stay on their heads. Poor pups looked tortured. I'll visit your page.

Arthur Vaso December 8, 2018 at 11:42 PM The poem is so cute and so is that photo!! Loved this! Carolyn Devonshire December 9, 2018 at 1:00 AM Years ago I bought antlers for my cats. Right. I ended up wearing them myself. Thanks for reading, Arthur.
