Hi Barbara,
This is a good ekphrastic poem for this photo your husband cook.
It seems like Harley is really enjoying taking in the scenery from the kayak.
Do many dogs go on kayaks?
Congrats on placing third in the reviewing contest.
Keep writing and stay healthy.
Have a great day,
Joan

    Thank you for going back into my files and reading this poem. I appreciate it. Yes, Harely enjoyed his kayak trip. He doesn't normally do this, but my husband wanted to try it. It worked. He usually says home with me.

    You're welcome, Barbara. It looks like this should be a new tradition for Harley.

    It probably should. He'd enjoy it.

Not only is this cute enough to deserve at least one six star rating, I think I just pushed it into All Time Best status.

That's right, Dougie Fresh (that is my super hero name) is going around the Fanstory multi-verse righting literary wrongs. This one was a "no-brainer!"

Now, I will disappear into the night, like ... a shadow. Ha!

    Thank you for going back and reading this poem. As you can easily see, poetry isn't my strong area. I never thought Harley would stay in that kayak. I was shocked. He's my favorite writing buddy and is sitting beside me as I type this. He's a beside dog, not an on you dog. We work well together.

Bet Harley did enjoy the cruise.

Washington crossing the Deleware would be a remarkable sight to see.

Probably not as enjoyable as Harley's excursion though.

I love Harley!!!! I am a dog owner and a crazy dog lover.
This photo is the best and speaks for itself. He looks so
content and happy, unlike me, when I am in water:))
Your poem is as whimsical and light as Harley's ears
blowing in the wind.

Animals are amazing! The author's words were interesting, clear and
creative. Thank you for the author's notes they made a lot of sense.
Great that Harley had a great time! The poem flows and connects well.
The artwork is awesome!

I do love a good dog poem and this told a story of, if the picture is anything to go by, a cute little dog having fun. Mine would be scared and capsize the kayak lol. Thank you for sharing and take care.

    That's what I thought Harley would do, but he didn't. Thank you for the kind review.

    You are welcome. I guess it would be an excursion to take Harley there!

Love the photo, poem and notes! Harley is magnificent! He really is a personality, just like Sunny. I am sure they would get on so well. Our Sunny does not appear to like water - but maybe he would feel secure in a boat or kayak too. Who knows?!!

Maybe Harley was taken out of his comfort zone here and was a bit scared of the water? Fine rhymes in this very personal write about your dog's behaviour, much enjoyed Barbara, love Dolly x

    Thank you for the kind review. I'm guessing he's territorial about his home but not elsewhere.

Your ultra-concise poem is creative and descriptive--with a rhyme and a historical reference? From the photo, it seems Harley is taking in the surroundings.
