Pixie Poodle Goes Bump Bump

.                                              At work time Pixie bump,
                                           bumps my leg, Always causing
                                         it to buckle,  Grabs  a  pant  leg till 
                                       "mommy" says, "Food",  which always
                                          brings us a chuckle! I come home and
                                     she's at the door, so slowly backing out of 
                              my sight, then she jumps out and barks real loud,
                  so sure she will give me a fright! She bump, bumps on her
          toy basket, grabs one, then another instead, looking up with it, in
             her mouth, as if to say, "It's time for bed!" Then she'll look down
                      at the floor. She is telling us, "I need to go!"  A demand not,
                                                to be ignored, it's clear who is running the 
                                             show! Settling snuggly between us, while
                                           we watch television, she drifts off to 
                                       sleep and hogs the bed with a princess
                                type precision. She fills our heart, and gives
                           us ease, showing us a love, without facade. With
             something, so sweet in the world we're reassured, there is a God!

Because, "dog" is "God" spelled backwards. Wonderful shape dedication to your four-legged friend.

Congratulations on your 1st place win, Pat, I thank you for entering my contest, " Shapes". You brought to my mind the feeling of our pets brings to us. Stirring our hearts of how human they can be. Since my husband has passed my Yorkie fills my life with his needs. Your work had feeling of the love you have for him. You made the design flow and your drawing of word to me masterful. Hugs Eve ~`*

Wow! Thank you so much! I wasn't expecting that. I love music and poems with a message and also puzzles. The poems (a puzzle in themselves) come easier than the shapes, but I still enjoy it. Thank you again!...........pat

I thoroughly enjoyed this - the content is so warm and truly well-written which makes it even more of a joy to read, then, the shape - how creative you are! I've got nothing - shape, concrete and limerick poems pass my brain by. Sure this is a winner - contest or no. All the best ... CayCay

That you CayCay. (Interesting moniker!) My spell checker is not crazy about it though!....80)....I like to draw cartoons, but can't upload from my desktop so I thought I would try this. To me limericks are easier but I love puzzles so it's all good! Have a fantastic day! ......Patrick

Thanks Jan. Well, I did enter it and added a note of doing that but it screwed up my picture, so I deleted that part. (Obviously, I'm unsure of what I'm doing!).......80)

Thanks Michelle. I had a really cute picture of Pixie (Well several actually) but poetry soup won't let me put anything from my desktop, so a drawing or "Paint" option was also out so I thought I'd try this. I have to say it is hard but an interesting puzzle of sorts!!..............pat
