    I think you have writen something brilliant here. I loved the read. It was simple yet moving. So many of us are so busy we don't take time to notice or appriciate nature but the character in your poem stopped to take a look around and appriciate mother nature.

    A well worded poem

    5/5

    I have no more to say than the others did. Wonderful job!

    Your words are so simple and yet full of so much magic.

    Larry,

    I enjoyed this little piece a lot; there is a soothing sort of calm to it that is always a pleasure when you have children tearing around the house like banshees!

    I often wonder what separates us from animals (if indeed anything does) but maybe, partly, it's because we have an appreciation for them and the nature they are part of that they (perhaps) do not share with us. Are they even aware of it?
    The quiet sort of understanding, then, that you accredit your dog is all the more striking because of that. Here is a beast that seems not only aware of your need to admire your surroundings but has seemingly conquered his own fascination with it, wanting nothing more than to 'get to the next gossipy scent'.
    There is a dignified and yet subtle personification of your hound in this poem that was a pleasure to read as it is crafted with a very delicate hand.

    A fascinating and mesmerising little write.

    All the best,

    Ben
