Chocolate Lab

[Keith]

oh right, shit, it's about a labrador
for ages all i could see was chocs.
no real feedback keith. the last 3 lines are a good warming image.

Thanks Billy, I didn't think about chocs but thinking about it I've got buttons and suckling going on so easy mistake. Cheers Keith

The drawn in night Nice
shudders me home.
Chapped hands,
too tense to tilt I enjoyed this alliteration, it reads fine, but very slightly awkward.
large coat buttons.
Stocking toes suckle
under her warm belly,
like nuzzling puppies.

Not much to critique here. This is a vey nice warm-hearted poem I'm thinking this is about a new member of your family, or one that has been a part of it for a while. Thanks for the good read

Thanks Malu yes I agree the alliteration is a bit OTT with all the TTTT just about keeping your feet warm and not wanting to move when you get in from work and the house is cold. Best Keith

Is it about a dog? To me it could be about someone snuggling close to their lover, to warm up. Either way...I love it. There's really not much to crit. I love to tense to tilt, personally, because I could bathe in assonance.

Thank you bena you are correct it could well be that, I don't own a chocolate Labrador and the point was about wedging cold toes into warm places any underbelly would do. cheers Keith
