So few words, but lots of heart and love. It's so very clever too, and I just love it. The photo is perfect and it really adds to the narrative. A win/win.

Charming whimsy in clever rhyme. Priceless pic--great play on steeping--thanks for the chuckle--I needed this after the brutal crime scenes I've been reviewing.

A fun post and as long as this poor little pug doesn't drown in the tea then all is well, a good soaking will leave the scent behind I expect, love Dolly x

Cute picture of the little pug in a mug! Do I dare ask what liquid the little fella is steeping in? Maybe that is the implied intention. Definitely sleeping in liquid can't be very conducive to rest. Dear little fellow needs to jump out of that mug and dry out in the sun with some good rest, maybe on a porch! Very cute poem!

Ha, too cute. That little pug is adorable, and so is your verse to celebrate his loveliness.

Excellent poem, Debra, and just the cuppa to enjoy on a sunny Thursday. :))

Well done, I like the artwork, it's pretty clever, deriving a great ekphrastic poem, the dog a wonder of relaxation, much like a warm bath is cleansing and relaxing, beautifully done Debra, blessings Roy

Debra, that's one heckuva mug, unless it is picturing a miniature pug, and I don't think one exists. But your poem sure exists, and it's a dandy. My daughter has two pugs and they are the most lovable dogs I've ever seen... unless they sleep in your room. They are the most lovable, snoringest dogs on the planet!

What a cutie the little pug in a mug is, Debra. I like the way you formatted the lines, your color scheme works well, and the picture is adorable. The rhyming for each part is an added bonus.
Thanks for sharing.
Respectfully, Jan
