Best Four Footed Poems

'Tis said that the first Thanksgiving feast was celebrated in sixteen twenty-one.
'Twas the Pilgrims' first bountiful harvest so they decided to have some fun!
(That was the genesis of church potlucks that are popular to this very day,
And the origin of that American addiction, the all-you-can-stuff-ten-buck...

Shall I believe that you are not like me?
A dog is but a wolf no longer wild,
and though you are a faithful friend, I see,
you are four-footed like no human child,
my boy; and though you answer to the name
the same the brilliant poet reprobate,
there somewhere...

Chihuahua Football At The Rose Hill Stadium
Watching football at home with my little dogs on a cold winter night, I realize that I coach my 
own football team.
 
Running deep far into the football field at the Rose Hill Stadium (Which is my vegetable-dyed 
Persian...

Kindness

Your kindness Lord runs to greet me in generous petals of fragrant compassion floating into my stingy spirit, dances in the abyss of my selfishness, raises up my bankrupt soul, gives light to my nearsighted heart opening veins of sympathy in an avalanche of mercy...

Afraid? 
Who should I afraid?
The two legged
animal 
Or the four footed?
Should I afraid of
your might 
Or the lure of your
wealth, 
No mortar, no bullet

Death is the porter 
Of poetess
Dickinson’s father’s
lodge 
Life is a cheater, a
**** 
When hardship comes 
It slicks away to
another land 
Comes back...

Private Residence

Sign at the gate – no solicitors –
Beyond the rosewood door sanctuary in seclusion
Untouched by hands racing round
A face framed by chimes and alarms –
Measures of mincing minutes
Exiled with suitcases packed
To astral planes of heights unknown;
Bits of seconds escape measurement restraints.

Red escaping from purple
Leaving...

Reflecting On Thy Long Doggone Pooch -
"Georgie Harris"

At present moment thoughts adrift,
     whereat figurative throne,
     this chap doth 
     emotionally abdicate
no particular reason finds me
     revisiting nostalgic

A dog, first  great love for many boys..
Born of innocence and tumbling play
Adventures abound throughout their day
Such face licking kinds of simple joys

In time men grow old and see December
Having had other four footed friends to love
Cherished as little gifts from heaven above
But always...

Constipation spoilt rare visit

Today August 29th, 2021 sluggishness dogs yours truly

Forecasting to thunderous applause
fast as greased lightning draws
upon futuristic atmospheric gewgaws
hot air emanates out these slackened jaws
spluttering courtesy indentured maws
armed with four footed tall paws
gesticulations resembling horizontal seesaws. 

Humidity felt across every square inch
covering these lovely bones,
which pores...

Nine lives removed from royal dignity

Five days after 
getting acquainted with darling cats
pampered like queens courtesy 
thee eldest daughter 
and her partner acquired as kittens
reminiscence occurred regarding
one particular four footed feline
my late mother doted over.

Lion eyes hide predatory wage
sharp retractable sharp claw
never did the late...

Once upon a Christmas donkey
Mary in labor was led to a door
The man inside took pity on the young couple
Allowed them to stay in his stable
Where animals kept watch

Four-footed, hooved, and horned,
They understood that magic was afoot
Joseph was grateful for the place to stay
Being a...
