This is so cute, I love it. Any child would love to read this. It is so smooth and with good imagery. The rhythm and rhyme are wonderful.

The picture adds depth to your poem.

Well done and thanks for sharing.

Best wishes,
Malcolm

Hi Gentlewind,
Nice little poem, it rhymes well ad has a good rhythmn. The verses evok a lovely image - I recall my kids tucked in and hugging their favourite stuffed toys as they dropped off.

Hello Gentle Wind,

This is a very whimsical, well-written poem about a child's invisible friend. I'm told by my mother that I had one and that she'd have to set a plate for her at the table for me. I enjoyed this very much!

    I am so glad you enjoyed this piece from my childhood. Every child should have an invisible friend. I'm glad you had one and she was well-respected! Thank you for the great rating and taking the time to read.

This is a cute poem about a cute little doggie.
I lost two of my dogs last year, and my lab, Smoke, took their death very hard.

He stopped talking to us, would go and lay on his bed and sleep. We were actually afraid for his life.

It took, Smoke, months to get of their deaths. Dogs do have feelings.

Thanks for this little poem

    I am so glad you enjoyed my poem. Smoke sounds like a wonderful companion. Yes, they do have feelings. God put them on this earth to comfort us and to remind us of Him. Thank you for the great review.

    You're quite welcome, GentleWind, Indeed, God makes no mistakes, Dogs are here for many reasons, Smoke is a wonderful companion, he knows when I am feeling down, and comes over and puts his head on my lap. God Bless.

He must have been a fine friend. I write a lot about my cats, Dillard and Dabney McFurperson. I can't imagine not having an animal or two in the house. Enjoyable read. joan marie

This is delightful and wonderful. I like to believe the spirit of my Persian cat is with me at the end of the day.
This is a great poem that gives one comfort.

    Peaches was of great comfort to me as a child. Now, I'm looking for a 'real' Peaches to comfort me in the present. Thank you for your great review.

A beautiful poem. You use the aabb ccdd rhyme scheme well; because of the strong emotion in the poem, that rhyme scheme does not give the poem a lilting tone. I think in the fourth line you want the possessive day's and not the plural days. I like the parallelism of the last line very much. Good juxtaposition of picture and poem.

Cute! There has always been a love story between a master and his pet. This explains why and how. I enjoyed it. Keep up the good work.

Kids are amazing with their imaginations. Soemtines their invisable friends are children like themselves but if what they want is a pet the the friend may be a pet. I enjoyed your poem.
