I love how you used this form to point out Molly's dilemma. A lot of children are the same way. lol. It was well written and to the point. I think this is a fun form to write. Well done.

What a clever poem in the Emmett style, capturing perfectly the perceived mixed feelings of your beautiful dog. Very cute photo, and equally sweet poem. Well written!

What a fun poem, Debra, with an adorable picture of Molly. I enjoyed reading it. Great job with this style. Your words flow smoothly, the rhymes work well, and I love the two POV's of Molly. I could picture her saying/doing everything in the poem.
Respectfully,m Jan

Debra,

What a fun little post with an adorable image and fun rhythm to it. I can bet we'll be seeing more of this poem style around here... It's a cute one and leaves a nice taste in the mouth. *smile* Eyes? Something!

Thanks!

Yes a lovely musing about a canine who wants to be active when he's out and about and restful when he's in ' a sleepy heap' our four-legged friends are not unlike ourselves !!

What a great idea to do a double Emmett poem. I think I missed that one - will have to go and check. Your poem perfectly shows us the two minds of our pets which gives us a picture of when we ourselves are of two minds!

Molly definitely is of two minds which you have illustrated beautifully with this Emmet poem.

The opening lines of both perspectives are succinct and then go on to with integrated rhymes and a jaunty beat, encourages nods in agreement for both perspectives.

Really enjoyed reading this today, Debra. Molly is very cute. :))
