"There is unimaginable beauty in his reaction when he sees you, even if it is the twentieth time today. " The Poet. Is it possible to see any sight more beautiful that this ? Do glance again incase there is some feature you may miss. The smooth sleek wrinkles over his nose. The gesture of alertness as he strikes a pose. His handsome head firmly rests on the ground. Such elegance and poise simply abound. The epidemy of beauty and regal charm. The mere sight of him makes me feel warm and calm. Having such beauty roaming the house is a delight. His soft gentle eyes, follow me from morning til night. It's so easy to love a creature as beautiful as this. A privilege to be honoured by his special doggy kiss. Our daughter doesn't behold him in the same light. Without the same vision, her perception isn't right. She lives far away - doesn't live here with us. She says, about our beautiful Brix while making a fuss: He looks like he had a head on collision with a bus. Age is giving him a debonair, distinguished touch of grey. He enjoys his beauty sleep most of the day. Apart from the sound of a cheese wrapper he has few interferences, So he can spend his time keeping up his pristine appearances. He has always been a rare beauty, even now that he is older. So its hard to believe that beauty is only in the eye of the beholder.

Your poem is a playful yet poignant reflection on subjective beauty—and how deeply we love our aging dog, Brix, even when others (like your daughter) don’t see him the same way.

The first time I saw Brix I fell for him, knowing this may not be Brix, he's just as adorable. Great entry for the eye of the beholder contest, SV. Altho I may not be everywhere on trophy wins and lesser than'z, a poet friend, I am. xhugs__Anaya

As long as you are having fun my friend. Writing this stuff soothes the tension of everyday living for me. OK so we wont be able to pawn a whole lot of trophies when we are broke, but I bet we have a lot of crumpled up paper to keep a fire going.... :)

It's him - taken yesterday ! He is getting older ! Giant breeds on average live 8 to 10 years. He is 11 so he has about another 10 years or so to go, his vet says he is a giant dog that never lost his puppy personality. :) Thanks for your lovely comment my friend. I have read it twice and love your Lava lamp. I will get to it again today (amid the other 300 things I have to do) and comment. Luv Wen
