Your Yellow Puppy certainly looks well-loved! The poem was so sweet, and I think you did a good job with the acrostic format. I might have changed "my faithful companion and me" to "me and my faithful companion" because you go on to discuss the details of the companion. However, that's not really necessary, and I could be completely wrong. Thank you for sharing, and best wishes to you.

Thank you for reading and reviewing, Jessizero. I appreciate your feedback, and I'm thrilled you enjoyed my poem. Oh, she was and is very loved. She's been with me for almost 36 years. Thank you again for commenting. :D
Comment from Verna Cole Mitchell
This is a clever acrostic poem. Acrostic poems don't usually have much meaning in them, but you packed this one full. I really enjoyed your yellow dog.

Comment from Heather Bagley
I think the first stanza is perfectly fine as is, but if you want, you could perhaps change the last line to "I'll never forget you; my cherished playmate" or "forget my cherished playmate." I loved this acrostic regardless, and I had my own Stitch plush near me as I read it

Comment from June Sargent
Bits and pieces of memories define who we were and who we've become. This yellow puppy has been the thread connecting all those pieces together. A lovely nostalgic piece that we all can relate to. Well done!

Comment from Sallyo
I think the first stanza works perfectly well. The art of the acrostic (to me, anyway) is to make it work as a poem without the added feature of being an acrostic. This poem does that. The acrostic form has kept the wording economical and the picture ably supports it.

Your poem reminds me of the story of The Velveteen Rabbit. A favourite childhood soft toy holds so many fond memories. Often it is a relationship that holds a child together in uncertain times.

Thank you for reading and reviewing, tfawcus. I appreciate it, and I'm glad you enjoyed it. Oh, high praise. I love that story, and I'm tickled my poem reminds you of it. That was a special story from my childhood. Thank you again for commenting. :D
Comment from Aussie
Poor yellow puppy is falling apart. But you love her still and all the comfort she brought to you as a childhood friend she was precious. I have a Yogi Bear which is forty years old; given to me when I was in hospital, he is still in once piece. K xx

Comment from davisr (Rhonda)
I think your acrostic is very well written and engaging. I'm no expert on acrostics, so I don't have much advice on how it would sound better, but I can say I like it and it conveys the message of a toy that was loved so much it got worn through. I feel the love you had for it and its importance in your life.
Thanks for sharing,
Rhonda
