Dear John,
This is darling - adorable! I can see why you won. You had me sharing completely in the moment. I know my doggy is in the deepest of sleep when his nether regions face the sky. :)
BTW that's how I spent New Year's eve - nursing the flu!
Congratulations on the win. Happy New Year, friend.

Sorry for the delay in responding. I haven't been on the sight very much in 2015. Thank you for reading and sharing. John

Congratulations, John, on a well-deserved win! Great picture to accompany this delightful poem, but where are you in the picture? I can sure relate to just wanting to spend New Years Eve on the couch with the pup. Hope yours was a good one.

Ha. Someone had to take the photo. The puppy was busy as you can see.
Thank you Connie. Always appreciated. John

Hi John. This is a brilliant entry for this particular 5-7-5 New years Eve competition, it conjures up a wonderful picture of man and his dog, not sure if the ZZZZZ will be classed as a word though, but good luck in the contest my friend.

Comment from Toyjenna
This a very cute poem. It isn't super exciting or packed full of emotion, but it is charmingly simple and well written. It follows the 5-7-5 format perfectly. I totally love the picture that you chose to accompany your sweet poem. I enjoyed your poem. Good luck in the contest!

Not many 5-7-5's are jam packed that way. I'm glad you liked the photo because its of my Brittany spaniel, Chloe in action!
Thanks for reading, John
Comment from pipersfancy
Sounds a lot like my rowdy New Year's Eve celebration last night! Very cute idea with the final line, although - not sure that 'zzzzz' actually counts as a syllable. Without any vowel, it's really just a noise! Regardless... I enjoyed this piece, and wish you well in the contest!

Just me and my pup
We'll be vegging on the couch
Zzzzz-phew, zzzzz-phew, zzzzz
The poem works. The artwork does not appeal to me, but it also works.
Well done.

I figured it was a beloved pet, but I am not excited about bellies. LOL
Comment from Glasstruth
LOL. What a lovely picture. My dog sometimes lies around like that. I think dog's are the luckiest, that's if they're in a good home. The last line is very effective. Well crafted. Happy New Year!!! Les

Sounds like a relaxing night with you and your puppy. I don't know if anyone really made it past midnight last night. Sounds like a lot of people fell asleep. You did a great job and I wish you all the best in the contest

This the way to spend New Year's eve. I spent it with my cats on my bed. Love your theme of the best way to spend the holiday. Excellent use of words.
