Robert Gorelick Poet Limerick

Notes About The Poem

Brix the Bullmastiff

In the bullmastiff's breast beats a heart of pure gold
A proud Saxon canine, true caring and bold
Ever steadfast, not trendy
Such an apt chum for Wendy
A real breed apart and a joy to behold

Michael Tor May 25, 2023 at 8:23 AM Had to show my wife this one. She is a dog lover like myself, she simply adored your Limerick. Late congratulations Robert on receiving POTD. The judges must also be animal lovers... Robert Gorelick June 18, 2023 at 4:57 PM As I often say, your average dog is a lot nicer than your average person. So many dogs in my life that I have adored as any individual. Thank you for the congratulations, be well and regards to your wife!

Suzanne Delaney March 21, 2023 at 2:33 AM Hi Robert…..Another doggie limerick and a POTD, congrats and apologize I missed it on the day. I have a Maltese pure white and spoilt but cute as a button.

Brandy Nicole March 14, 2023 at 7:25 PM You have a "heart of pure gold," Robert. So sweet of you to create this for Wendy and her canine. (I can see in her comment, that she has framed it already). Your limerick brings a smile my heart. Congratulations on Poem of the Day. :) Brandy Robert Gorelick March 15, 2023 at 9:38 AM I don't know about pure gold, I strive for 18 karat, just right for necklaces and wedding rings! Thank you, with all my heart, Brandy. Robert

Speaks Volumes March 14, 2023 at 2:50 PM Robert maybe you should take requests ? And once again thank you so much . I know it had a copy right, but I printed and framed your poem with a picture of the "mutt" ( I just couldn't resist) Just love your Limerick) It sorta made me miss Rico even more too. Robert Gorelick March 14, 2023 at 6:16 PM Wendy, I'm honored you enjoyed it so much that you framed it. I'm always pleased to honor any and all requests for a custom-tailored doggie limerick. I too miss Rico and his friendly spirited poems.

Tom Cunningham March 14, 2023 at 1:55 PM Big congratulations to you Robert on the honour of POTD. Tom Speaks Volumes March 14, 2023 at 6:50 PM Tom I know I shouldn't reply to you here but I seem to be breaking rules today. Just to let you know that our dog Brix's Grandfather was a British Grand Champion. So his heritage is steeped in English History. Robert Gorelick March 14, 2023 at 6:18 PM Tom, your response is appreciated. Particularly since you share Brix's country of origin. Thanks for dropping by. Cheerio!
