Rob Carmack Poet Iambic Pentameter

Sonnet Chiweenie Boo

Your dad, a Dachshund once stuck in Chihuahua.
The best of both in you, with that expectant
Confusing carpets for the lawn enigma.
I know….the raining….getting wet….you can’t.

As coldness chills the room, a sheet for you.
The perfect tucking of in, but you moved!
I ponder, just how crazy is my Boo?
The sheet’s thread count too low to be approved?

Your dance in circles, spinning on the floor.
Rewards and treasures known upon the racks.
Induced by meals and that one pantry door.   
In such a fury, choking on the snacks.

I know what God’s book says, I’ve searched it whole.
But still, I hope you have a little soul.

Earl Schumacker November 11, 2015 at 10:24 AM Hi Rob, Very unique poem. Absolutely great language usage and imagination. I really enjoyed, "with that expectant...Confusing carpets for the lawn enigma" and "The sheet's thread count too low to be approved?" Fun stuff! Have a great day. Earl

Leona Slagle November 10, 2015 at 3:54 PM OMG Your dog has to be related to mine I laughed so hard because everything you wrote is my dogs actions choices, and her name is Boo but she is all chihuahua Great write thanks for sharing. Rob Carmack November 10, 2015 at 8:13 PM Let me first salute your wisdom in owning a Chihuahua and of the course the name. Still trying to figure out the sheet phenomenon. Thank you for taking the time to read and comment.

Sandra Haight April 29, 2015 at 8:00 AM Such a fine poem, Rob. I agree with the others that it should have placed toward the top. Loved the ending couplet! Sandra

Poet Destroyer A April 25, 2015 at 11:36 PM Rob, Congratulations on your Humorous Poetry contest win :) LINDA

Andrea Dietrich April 22, 2015 at 11:34 PM It's too lame to congratulate you for a mere HM. My friend Rob, you were robbed! this is one of the finest poems you have posted here at soup. Again, I love it! Rob Carmack April 23, 2015 at 8:04 AM Thank you Andrea. I guess he just doesn't like our styles (or us), at least we got HMs, I cant remember how many entries he was taking, thought it was 35, but it may have been 50. So there was some NA's too.

Robert Lindley April 22, 2015 at 9:39 PM Congratulations on your win.

Jan Allison April 22, 2015 at 5:08 AM At least you got on the list Rob - I got an N/A - guess humour is subjective but I'm hanging up my pen in shame not to place in a humour contest:-) Hugs jan xx Jan Allison April 22, 2015 at 3:19 PM looks like it was a glitch - but the site then screwed me so i will enter it in screwed III lol:-) hugs jan xx Rob Carmack April 22, 2015 at 9:12 AM Sorry to hear that Jan. I am not going to try to find yours in case you would like to enter it into Screwed III. I was close to a NA though, perhaps he is a dog lover, thus barely saving me. Hugs, Rob.

Andrea Dietrich April 10, 2015 at 12:13 AM I have found a poem of yours from before that I absolutely adore! , Rob. And I love that name Chiweenie boo . this time, a FAVE Rob Carmack April 22, 2015 at 9:15 AM Thanks, Andrea. I never knew the term Chiweenie, until I took the Boo to a community festival and everyone was calling him that.

Nathan D. December 5, 2014 at 7:20 AM very cool write one of the best of twilight zones episodes I saw was about an old man who wouldn't go into heaven without his dog but it turns out it was the devil trying to get him into hell and him not going without his dog saved him.
