I was gifted a little gem; her name is Polka Dots.
She's an English greyhound wench, stands as tall as a park-bench.
She's white, full of black spots, slender stem, and loves apricots.
Her previous owner use to race her, my gut would wrench.

She's an English greyhound wench, stands as tall as a park-bench,
eyes that melt your heart, lies around on my round leather couch.
Her previous owner use to race her, my gut would wrench.
We're both old slouches and once in a while, she becomes a grouch. 

Eyes that melt your heart, lies around on my round leather couch;
she's white, full of black spots, slender stem, and loves apricots.
Her previous owner use to race her, my gut would wrench.
I was gifted a little gem her name is Polka Dots.

A lovely poem which should appeal to most animal lovers, Eve! If Polka Dots is similar to the one in the picture, then she would be a delight to own! Hugs // paul

This is a marvelous pantoum Eve. I liked it so much I looked up to see what type of poem it is. I really like the rhythm of it, and I have decided to try one. The photo is nice also. Very well done, professional. Good luck in the polka dot contest!

Love it, Eve. I'm in the process of adopting a new little dog. (My precious one died in October). Wish me the same luck that you had with Polka Dot.

I'm so sorry, Sunlite, I wish you luck. You will never go wrong with the one that gives you the puppy dog eyes. I mope for a few months until I got my Peanut. He is the same breed , but 10 pounds heavier. . Mine has an attachment disorder so it is hard for me to do much.Thank you , Heidi. Hugs Eve ~`*
