Dog Haiku

[Smilla]

Sent to me by my sister. Some might not be "real" haikus, but are cute nonetheless.

I lie belly-up
In the sunshine, happier than
You will ever be.

Today I sniffed
Many dog behinds. I celebrate
By kissing your face.

I sound the alarm!
Paper boy, come to kill us all
Look! Look! Look! Look! Look!

I sound the alarm!
Garbage man, come to kill us all
Look! Look! Look! Look! Look!

How do I love thee?
The ways are as numberless as
My hairs on the rug.

My human is home!
I am so ecstatic I have
Made a puddle.

Sleeping here, my chin
On your foot, no greater bliss, well,
Maybe catching cats

Look in my eyes and
Deny it. No human could
Love you as much as I do.

The cat is not all
Bad, she fills the litter box
With tootsie rolls.

Dig under the fence, why?
Because it is there. Because it's
There. Because it's there.

I am your best friend,
Now, always, and especially
When you are eating.

Hey, let's add our own!

Remember, haiku rules are 5-7-5


I remember this
Place where the porkchop once fell
Drool in nostalgia

I need that biscuit!
Dinner is too distant, I
Will STARVE without treats!

[Smilla]

Excellent, excellent idea!

This one's called "The Wallow", penned by our Katie and Sugar:
I smelled something foul
In it I did roll around
Ruined by a bath

And this one, titled "The Night Visitor", is for Logan:
I was fast asleep
Mom crept in and smelled my paw
Very, very strange

FRITOOOOOS

Smilla,
I'm not as smart as you are this late at night, but give me until the weekend and I'll think of something! These are precious! And yes, I admit it, I did smell those frito feet late at night when no one was watching!

My contribution:

Shelter dogs just sit
Waiting for someone to love.
Please love me, won't you?

Some very interesting haiku. I'll have to come up with one. I did one for my cat, but not the dogs (the one I did can be seen under the name Christi Upson on http://www.poetry.com), now let me go sniff those frito feet for inspiration.....

6am I wake
How can you slumber, person?
The day is ours, rise!

Now that I've been out
And you are awake, I curl
Back to the bed's warmth

You watch me, I know
Disgusted at my return
To deep snoring sleep

I do not feel guilt
YOU had to get up for work,
I just did my job!

Karen,

That's wonderful! They are all great!

Freckles: Done and done. I made a minor error in the title of the topic, but it's in "Cat General" if anyone is interested. Still haven't come up with one for the dogs, tho'. More frito feet???? NO.......doggie perfume.....Gack!
