A Spoiled Rotten Yorkie!

My first Villanelle Poem.

A spoiled rotten Yorkie controls my home,

Her body draped in steel-blue wavy silk hair.

Pampered for love of a bone.

Redish blonde on her head and legs to comb,

Prickly ears complement her docked tail flair 

A spoiled rotten Yorkie controls my home.

Athletic and likes morning walks to roam,

A keen intelligence and big-dog stare 

Pampered for love of a bone.

Friendly, outgoing, only speak dog alone,

She gets kisses on top her head with care

A spoiled rotten Yorkie controls my home.

Can recognize an astonishing number of words like phone,

Her body language and little quite sounds scare

Pampered for love of a bone.

Sleeping on foot of the bed is her throne,

She snores when sleeping on her back rare.

A spoiled rotten Yorkie controls my home

Pampered for love of a bone.

Well, Dear Tina,
From your descriptions, there is no doubting your love and tender affection for this rascally wee Yorkie lady, and who would not adore such a silky delight!
You actually had me smiling and warmed in several places. : )
Your emotions are beguiling and the imagery is clear and involving to the senses, and it is quite a good first effort on this enjoyable and challenging Villanelle form, though there are a few issues to address to make it a virtual masterpiece. The rules for a proper Villanelle are included beneath my poem, "Woodsprite" at: http://www.writerscafe.org/writing/RichardJ/1584637/

Tina, I have very much enjoyed my visit here to learn about such a sweetheart as your darling Yorkie … I'll bet she has you spoiled as much as you've spoiled her … LOL! ⁓ Richard

Welcome Tina!

I never studied poetry, so I do not know Villanelle writing. The title got me as my last name is York, and friends sometimes called my deceased husband "Yorkie."

Thank you Sami, I wanted to write a Villanelle poem, and thought and thought how. What would my subject be. When what else but my dog. Now that I'm done I really like it. Tina
