Ciao mystery poet, you now have 2 votes.

I am a big pet owner and I could easily connect to your engaging entry.

My Paco ( a Siamese ) went through a similar situation.

When my mother passed away , I adopted her bunch of furry felines.

Pete used to be the alpha thought he would be so even in my house.

Paco was older but stood his ground.

The tension you could cut with a knife at times.

I loved them both but they sure kept me alert and on my toes.

I thought your narrative was very engaging .. pets do get jealous and I could feel Gus' daily drama.

I'm quite disappointed to see it only has two votes ( sigh)

Heck , where are all the pet lovers??

    Hi tempeste, thank you so
    much for the great review.
    I'm disappointed by the
    contest voting. It looks like
    the voters preferred the
    cuter and whimsical stories.
    I'm so glad you love this
    poem. Your pets sound like
    they have gone through the
    same thing. Thank you for
    your encouraging words
    I really appreciate it. I really
    enjoyed writing this poem.
    I hope you have a superb
    Tuesday, and you have
    brightened my day. All the
    best to you. ~

This was a very humorous account, to say the least. It reminds me of some animals I've dealt with. Boy, can those dogs ever pass some devastating gas! It is nearly deadly. Best of luck!

What a fun poem! Your dogs sound like they have a lot of personality, and the rhyming couplets were great in adding to the humorous tone of the piece. One suggestion I might make would be to play around with a more structured syllabic order between your lines. I think it helps poems to read smoother, especially with a more humorous piece it would give it more cadence and a lyrical flow. Keep up the great work!

    Thank you so much, Alina.
    I don't have a computer, just
    my cellphone. Typing from
    my cellphone is an adventure
    in wonkyville. The FS Admin
    then arranges my words
    better to fit and not be too
    wide. But, I do think I should
    perhaps make some poems
    lines shorter. I really appreciate hearing your opinion, and thank you for
    taking the time to read and
    give my review 4 stars. Have
    a splendid start to your week
    Blessings ~

This is a humorous and fun verse fitting the brief and a joy to read. You make it quite easy to get inside Gus' mind and see this annoying newcomer from his perspective. Revenge absolutely justified I would say! Well done and good luck! Debbie

Your dogs do seem like a comedy team, or at least Gus, the canine poet knows how to write an entertaining verse. That's to be admired in both humans and canines. Nice read. Thanks for sharing this.
