Hi HollyMerry,

This is a fantastic poem. The tone is full of joy and excitement. It grabs all the reader's attention and makes them want to read on. In the poem, you talk about enjoying taking your dog for a walk. We had a poodle when I was growing up. He didn't take many formal walks. It used to roam whenever he wanted. I loved this poem and read to the last word. The free verse works well in this poem, and you have handled it very well. There is a wonderful rhythm here. The poem flows extremely well. It is a pleasure to read. You have used punctuation and grammar consistently in this poem. There is nothing to distract the reader from their reading pleasure. Great job.
